Interactive Prototyping
Click Play to turn static screens into interactive prototypes. Click anywhere during prototype mode and Stitch generates the next screen.
What is Interactive Prototyping?
Stitch can turn your static designs into interactive, clickable prototypes. Press the Play button and your screens come alive — buttons become clickable, navigation works, and you can experience the flow of your app. The truly magical part: when you click an area that does not have a linked screen yet, Stitch will generate the next screen automatically based on context.
How to Use Prototyping
First, design a few key screens of your application (home, detail page, settings, etc.). Then click the Play button to enter Prototype mode. Stitch automatically detects interactive elements like buttons, links, and navigation items. Click through your prototype naturally. When you reach an undesigned screen, Stitch generates it on the fly, maintaining visual consistency with your existing screens.
Building Complete Flows
Start with your most important user flow — for example, the signup flow or the purchase flow. Design the first screen, enter prototype mode, and click through. Each time Stitch generates a new screen, it gets added to your canvas. After the prototyping session, you will have a complete flow of connected screens that you can refine individually. This is much faster than designing each screen from scratch.
Tips & Best Practices
- 1Design your primary screen thoroughly — prototyping uses it as the style reference.
- 2Focus on one user flow at a time for coherent prototypes.
- 3After prototyping, review each generated screen and refine as needed.
- 4Use prototyping during stakeholder demos to show realistic app behavior.
- 5Combine prototyping with variants to explore different flow alternatives.
