Interactive Components allow you to add interactions directly to components, such as hover effects, click toggles, and nested button behaviors. They make prototypes feel like real apps.
Where to Find It
Select a component, go to the Prototype tab, and create connections between the component's variants.
How to Use
- Variants: Create component variants for each state (Default, Hover, Pressed, Active).
- Connect: In the Prototype tab, connect Default to Hover with 'While Hovering' trigger.
- Navigate: Use 'Navigate To' action to switch between variants within the same component set.
- Nested: Components inside components can have their own interactions that work together.
Pro Tips
- Use 'Delay' triggers for auto-playing carousels and timed animations.
- Interactive Components work in published libraries — team members can use them without rebuilding.
