Hello, 

I'm trying to make a flow in the prototype section. I can choose one artboard as my homepage and i can even connect the lines the way i want, but when I press play for desktop preview the order of the artboard mix, not the way i want it to be. 

In my design i coppied some of arboards (with the option key), and even though i changed the names of the artboards and arragened then in the right order - it still has it's own flow regardless to what I'm trying to do.

Please help me! thank you.

Artboard arrangement does not create a flow. You must:

  1. Select some element a user would click.
  2. Drag the blue arrow to the artboard you want it to take them to.
  3. Repeat that process to move from artboard to artboard, creating a flow.

 

To define the first artboard in a flow, click the Home icon at thet top left of the artboard (in Prototype mode) so it becomes blue. 

 

I hope that helps!
