Automatically Update Navbar Links to Page Names

At a glance

The community member is updating the Navbars in their Relume Figma Library and would like to know how to make the links (e.g. "link one", "link two", "link three") automatically update to specific page names. The other community members suggest detaching the navbar instance, creating a new component, and editing the text for the nav items. This way, any changes made to the navbar on the page where the component was created will reflect across the other pages. However, the community members are not aware of any automatic way to "generate" these links within Figma.

Hello, I am wondering if someone can point me in the right direction. I am updating the Navbars in my Relume Figma Library, and I'd like to know how to make the links one, two, three, etc. automatically update to specific page names. Thanks,

what do you mean by automatically?

I would detach instance of the navbar in figma, and then create a new component, then edit the text for the nav items, and then I would paste that new component across the rest of your screens in Figma.

Now anytime you make a change to the navbar on the page where you created that component to start with (maybe homepage?) it'll reflect across those other pages - maybe that is what you are looking for.

If not, let me know.

Thanks, I guess my question is what is the best way to use link one, link two, link three, etc. in the navbar component so it updates appropriately on our canvas without having to manually change the text.

I'm not aware of any automatic way to do "generate" these links within Figma but these days, anything is possible. The flow I just mentioned above is how I go about it in my client projects.
