Create an overlay screen

The Overlay feature allows you to superimpose a screen on top of another. It's a powerful way to model pop-ups, drop down menus, and alerts without leaving your screen.

  1. Start off with the base screen and the overlay screen. Set your hotspot by highlighting the area you want to make interactive (in this case the Start button was highlighted) and link it to the overlay screen.
  2. Check off Display an overlay and select the transition (in this example, slide up was used).
