Hotspots make your interactive designs easier to explore. They highlight clickable or expandable elements in your document—helping viewers quickly identify where to interact when previewing or sharing your design.

What Are Hotspots?

Hotspots are visual indicators that show which parts of your design are interactive. These may include:

• Expandable interactions such as images, QR codes, charts, and maps.

• Interactive labels that display extra information when you hover your mouse over them.

How Hotspots Work

When you open a document or navigate to a different page, hotspots will initially pulse to highlight which areas are interactive. 

For example:

• Expandable Interactions
  Clicking these elements enlarges them for a closer view. This feature works with images, QR codes, charts, maps, and groups containing these.

• Interactive Labels
  Hover over an element to reveal a short description or added context. Labels work with icons, images, shapes, lines, charts, and maps.

How to Find Hotspots

You can view hotspots in Preview mode, either from the My Designs page or directly inside the Editor:

Option 1: From the My Designs page

1. Locate your design and click the kebab menu (⋮) on its thumbnail.

   

2. Select Preview to open the design in preview mode.

   

Option 2: From the Editor

1. Click Preview in the upper-right corner of the Editor toolbar.

   

Once in Preview mode, click the Hotspot button in the lower-right corner of the screen to display all interactive elements on the page.

📝 Note: Hotspots are only visible in preview or share mode. They won’t appear in downloaded documents.
