Technology

Hotspot Hints Help Guide Users Navigate Through a Prototype. Anima allows designers to create high-fidelity prototypes inside all design tools.

When designing interactive prototypes, one of the biggest challenges is ensuring users understand where to click and how to navigate through the experience. That's where Hotspot Hints come in.

What are Hotspot Hints?

Hotspot Hints are visual indicators that appear on interactive elements within your prototype. They help users discover clickable areas without guessing, making the prototype testing experience smoother and more intuitive.

How to Use Hotspot Hints

**Enable Hints Mode**: Toggle the hints mode in your prototype settings

**Customize Appearance**: Choose colors and animations that match your design

**Set Timing**: Control when hints appear - immediately or after a delay

**Test with Users**: Watch how users interact with your prototype

Best Practices

Use subtle animations that don't distract from the design

Keep hints consistent throughout the prototype

Consider accessibility when choosing colors

Test hints with different user groups
