Scene behaviors
Control how users navigate and dismiss a Scene, including swipe, story mode, and safe area settings.
These optional settings apply to the entire Scene and control how users interact with it. Configure them during the Content step when creating a Scene by selecting the gear icon ( ) in the left sidebar.
Close on shade tap
This setting controls whether users can close a non-fullscreen Scene by tapping the area surrounding it.
To enable the setting, check the box for Close on shade tap.
Respect safe area
This setting controls whether Scene content stays within the safe area, the portion of the screen not covered by physical or UI elements like a status bar or notch. It is enabled by default.
To disable the setting, uncheck the box for Respect safe area. Content will extend to the full height and width of the device.
Enable swipe
This setting controls whether users can swipe between screens in Scenes with multiple screens. It is enabled by default and cannot be enabled when Story mode is enabled.
To disable the setting, uncheck the box for Enable swipe. Users must interact with buttons to navigate between screens.
Story mode
Story mode advances screens automatically without requiring swiping. For more about the feature, see Story mode in About Scenes.
Each screen displays for 1 to 60 seconds. When the last screen finishes, the Scene can end in one of three ways:
- Loop replays the Scene indefinitely
- Display last screen continues to display the last screen
- Dismiss closes the Scene
Story mode does not support scrolling, questions, NPS, or BranchingA way to create a custom user path through a Scene’s screens. A user’s interactions and responses on the current screen determine which screen appears next.. The option is disabled when using custom HTML, if the Scene contains questions or NPS, or if branching is configured.
When Story mode is enabled, the screen-level Play control for background video is not available. Instead, enable Play control when setting the root appearance to pause or resume both Story progression and background video playback.
To enable the setting, select the add icon ( ) for Story mode, then enter the number of seconds to display each screen and select an ending. To disable, select the remove icon ().
When Story mode is enabled, design screens for small device dimensions to eliminate the appearance of a non-functional scroll bar.
