Why It Matters
Prototype links turn static designs into interactive demos. They define what happens when a user clicks, hovers, or performs other actions—navigate to another frame, open an overlay, trigger an animation. While essential for presenting designs, prototype links can clutter files and confuse developers during inspection if not cleaned up.
Examples
1
A button on the login screen linked to the dashboard screen with a "push" transition.
2
A dropdown trigger opening a menu overlay with "open overlay" positioning.
3
An onboarding prototype with 20 screens connected to demonstrate the full user flow.
How BiblioKit Helps
BiblioClean safely removes prototype links from your files, cleaning up clutter while preserving your designs for developer handoff.
