Link back to multiple and different previous art boards

Dear Folks, 

 

It seems i have an issue to link to previous art boards and there is no option to link back to multiple and different previous art boards. 

 

For example, if 10 artboards has a back button, then it will become looping between only two artboards when user is exploring 2 specific artboards within them. 

 

Is there option in adobe XD to fix this issue? 

 

Thanks you

      Made a bit better looking example, here's the prototype, and here's the file.

      You can add scroll groups in there (overlay and/or component) and whatever you like.


      Hey Spas, 

       

      Thanks for that. Very clear illustration. I shall implemement that on my prototype. 

       

      Have a nice day.

      Can you share prototype link to understand your project or screenshots in prototype mode?

        Hey Ares, 

         

        Sorry about a late reply. 

         

        Please find  the prototype link in this emailhttps://xd.adobe.com/view/be7bbd85-7a2d-4021-9f35-f9de6f526c23-eb28/ .  To simplify the workflow, I use the artboard number (e.g. Art.1)  to illustrate the issue. Below is the correct order, 

         

        Workflow 1:

         

        Art.1 > Art.3 > Art. 4 >  Art. 3 > Art 1. 

         

        Workflow 2: 

         

        Art.2 > Art.3 > Art. 4 >  Art. 3 > Art 2.

         

        So if I put Art.3 to link to previous artboard, the Art. 3 & Art. 4 will become looping, which is undestandable, as the action before Art.4 was Art.3. This is the same as for the Workflow 2. 

         

        Therefore, the only way to solve this issue is to dulipcate Art. 3 & Art. 4. and link the Art. 3 ( 2 of them) to Art. 1 & Art. 2. 

         

        This works fine, if you work on a small project. But if you work on a large project that involves over hundreds of artboards, it's become impossible, as you have to duplicate hundreds of the same artboards to avoid looping effect. 

         

        So my question is, is there any way to link back to multiple and different previous artboards without duplication. 

         

        Any help will be much appreciated. 

         

        Best wishes 

         

        Lee

        Seems to be working for me. I'm using "Previous Artboard" on all "Prev" buttons. Here's the file.

         

        As Ares requested, can you share a screenshot of your project showing all the links? (select all artboards while in prototype tab)
