How do I add a hotspot/link to an overlay

Hello, I am trying to build a dropdown menu in a website prototype. I used overlay to make the dropdown menu slide over the screen you are on I want this menu to link to other pages, so I added hotspots to the menu. But when I am in play mode, these links dont work. Any advice? How do I make a dropdown menu work in Invision?

 

It says on this support page that I can link to another page from an overlay, but it isnt working for me.

Hi all,

Thanks for reaching out on this! We discovered an issue earlier this week with overlay hotspots not triggering in 'Play' mode.

I'm happy to share our engineers released a fix for this yesterday so we believe you should no longer run into this issue. We're terribly sorry for the hiccup!

Please give this another try if you run into any further issue, please submit a support request so we can dig in further.

Best,

Camille

Hi Andrius,

We'd like to gather some additional details to assist in troubleshooting this further. Would it be possible to provide the following?

  • What browser and operating system are you using? You can get these details by going to http://www.whatsmybrowser.org/, clicking “Copy”, and pasting the link it gives you here.
  • Could you provide a screenshot or screen recording showing what’s going wrong?
  • Could you include an example share link to an affected project?

Once we have those details, we'll be able to investigate further into this issue for you.

Thanks,
Camille

Hi,

I'm using macOS BigSur. And Chrome.

Actually links does not work in Screen As Overlay hover mode.

If i have links and etc in my Overlay Screen they does not work if i deselect Close on clicking outside of overlay. (They do work with this option selected).
