After selecting an element, you can create a guided/story Tour by choosing the "Add to story path" option. This enables you to guide viewers through the Tour in the order you prefer by having this option selected. You can also switch to "Independent Link" to link elements onto different pages as well. If you'd like to create a Tour that allows users to explore the different elements without guidance, simply turn off Link toggle.

Within this right hand panel, you can also pick how your Interactive elements be triggered.

Once elements are linked, you'll notice an orange linkage icon displayed next to the elements that are connected.

Within the left-hand panel, you can easily reorder the interactive elements by hovering over the desired element and then dragging and dropping them to arrange the order in which you'd like viewers to navigate.

You also have the flexibility to drag any interactive element within the story path and switch it to an independent element, and vice versa. Additionally, you can optionally select the page where you want the story to conclude by choosing it from the dropdown menu.

Adding Hotspot

Note: Hotspots can only be triggered by buttons within the popup.

Adding Target Area

Note: "Target Area Click" is the default trigger for target areas, but you also have the option to select "Button in Popup."

Interactive Live UI

Note: Live UI elements must always be associated with a Story Path and cannot be set as 'Independent.' In the "Style" configurations for Live UI elements such as buttons, checkboxes, or text input, you can modify various settings based on your selections.
