As shown above, elements shared across artboards will have their modified properties animated when interacting with the prototype. Test your animations by clicking on the links that navigate to different artboards. Modified properties between common elements of the two artboards will become animations when previewing the prototype.Ĭlick the preview button in the upper right of the XD window to interact with the prototype. The Auto-Animate option will create an animated transition between the current artboard and the destination artboard. Create a link between the button and another artboard, then select the Auto-Animate option from the Action menu in the link properties dialog box. Switch to the Prototype workspace in XD and select one of the navigation buttons. Create links between artboards using the Auto-Animate action Since these items are used on each artboard, they will become animations when using the Auto-Animate action in the prototype. In the example above, the background map has been scaled up and repositioned on each artboard, as well as the navigation indicator (tan oval). One of the easiest ways to ensure you are using the same elements is to duplicate your artboard layouts, then make adjustments to each layout. Properties that can be converted to animations include color, scale, opacity, and position. These elements, in turn, will become animated when you change certain properties on different artboards.

In order for the Auto-Animate action to work, you need to make sure you are using the same elements, or symbols, across your artboards.
