I am watching the 'Create and preview interactive prototypes' tutorial. At 3:02 into the tutorial, the narrator explains that by tapping on an arrow button, a menu appears which gives the user a [Target] dropdown menu, by which the user can select 'previous artboard'

I am unabler to recreate this scenario. The closest I come, is by clicking on the asset whifh brings up the 'Interaction' menu on the right-hand side of the screen, where a 'Destination' drop down menu is provided - but no 'previous-artboard' option.

I think you're watching an older tutorial, in which an older version of XD is being used. That popup panel has evolved into the panel on the right, and you're already using that one. Please note that the prototyping and animating features have changed a lot since then ! So it's better to learn from more recent tutorials.

As Harshika also stated: please share the link of the tutorial, so we can see if and how this "Previous Artboard" option is still a valid method for the task at hand. This option is specifically for triggers which need to act like a Back button. So you don't really connect the element to anything, but just select the element, click the handle/arrow, and immediately set the Destination to Previous Artboard.

This is the current tutorial posted on the Adobe website. If this is out of date and / or there is a more recent tutorial, please post or send me the link.

Thanks.

That's indeed an older version (well, about one and a half year ago...)

I quickly searched for some other more recent videos on the Adobe website, explicitly explaining the current incarnation of the Prototype features and options, but couldn't find them ! It's probably difficult for the team to keep updating all available videos, scattered around on all their Help and Blog platforms.

But if you look at some more recent tutorials, there's a good chance they'll be demonstrating certain Prototype features in the more modern way. Have a look at this collection on Behance Live:

Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out. There are some changes in the UI of XD that I think may be confusing you. I assume you are seeing these option when you click on the arrown in the prototype mode. Please see the attached screenshot.

Please let me know if I misunderstood you question. I would also request you to please share the link of the tutorial with me so that I can see for better understanding.

Thanks,

Harshika

The link to the tutorial titled "Create and preview interactive prototypes" is:

https://helpx.adobe.com/xd/how-to/preview-test-prototypes-desktop-mobile.html?playlist=/services/playlist.helpx/products:SG_XD/learn-path:get-started/set-header:ccx-designer/playlist:ccl-get-started-1/en_us.json&ref=helpx.adobe.com

Which I found by going to

https://helpx.adobe.com/support/xd.html >> 'Tutorials'

The narrator is explaining that another transition feature is the 'previous artboard' ("which directs the user back to the screen they just came from") option. At 3:02, she demonstrates this by clicking on a back button and a menu appears with the aforementioned 'previous artboard' option. A feature I would personally find useful.
