Creating Links *

Links are used to add interactivity to your mockups. When clicked in a slideshow or in a HTML export, their target screen is opened.

All widgets in MockupScreens has a “link” attribute you can set. The other way to use links is to use a Link widget. It is displayed on a screen, the same as links on a web page.

To create a Link widget:

1. Find a Link icon on the left toolbar and drag it onto the screen:
