Prototyping

With Sketch’s prototyping tools, you can bring your designs to life using a range of simple to advanced interactions. With features like Overlays and scrolling Artboards, you can accurately show how your designs would work in the real world — and on any device.

An overview of prototyping tools

With prototyping in Sketch you can:

• Create links or hotspots to navigate between different Artboards or trigger Overlays.
• Show overlays (e.g. menus, dropdowns or dialogs) that appear when you click, press or hover over another layer.
• Create scroll areas inside Artboards to scroll through content vertically, horziontally or in multiple directions (in beta).
• Set multiple Start Points to choose where a prototype will start playing from.
• Set custom layer visibility options that change how and when layers appear in a prototype (in beta).
• Use Artboard templates to create scrolling Artboards and maintain scroll position between Artboards, too.
• Pin fixed elements to a scrolling prototype (e.g. menu bars, toolbars, or footers).
• Preview prototypes in the Mac app, via the web app, or using our iOS app.
