In the developer's words
This plugin empowers users to effortlessly create and customize seamless links (user flows) between components in Figma, enhancing their design process and workflow.
To use this plugin, follow these simple steps:
1. Select the first component as the starting point of the connection.
2. Hold down the Shift key.
3. Click on the second component to complete the connection.
4. Release the Shift key.
Once connected, the plugin establishes a flow connection between the two components. Customize the connector settings, such as size, color, corner radius, and stroke cap, to align with your design requirements.
The connectors stick to the components even when moved or resized, ensuring your connections remain intact and visually appealing.
