Using Transition Arrows

What You’ll Learn

↔️ How to add arrows between Interactive Spaces 🎯 How to customize arrow labels, size, and style 🔗 How to link arrows to other Interactive pages


1. Add a Transition Arrow Block

  1. In the Theme Editor, open a page with an Interactive Space

  2. In the left sidebar, expand the Interactive Space section

  3. Click Add block

  4. Select Transition Arrow

Each arrow acts as a “room-to-room” navigation point.


2. Customize the Arrow

Click your new Transition Arrow block to configure:

↔️ Direction

  • Left or Right – which side of the screen the arrow appears on

  • Adjust this based on how you want users to “travel” through your store

🏷️ Label Text

  • What shows inside the arrow

  • Example: MEN’S, WOMEN’S, NEXT, BACK

🎨 Style Options

  • Background Color – Fill color of the arrow

  • Border Color – Outline color

  • Word and Arrow Color – Text and arrow icon

  • Transparent Options – Make background or border see-through

📏 Arrow Dimensions

  • Width – Controls how long the arrow label stretches (e.g. 150)

  • Use trial-and-error to match other arrows across pages


3. Position the Arrow with Coordinates

Just like with Interactive Points:

  • Use X Coordinate to move the arrow left or right

  • Use Y Coordinate to move it up or down

💡 To match arrow positions across pages, copy the X/Y values from one page and paste into another.


Use the Link field to connect this arrow to another space:

  • Choose from your Interactive Space pages

  • Or manually paste in the URL

Example:

/pages/space-2

⚠️ Make sure the destination page has the correct template (space-2, space-3, etc.) assigned.


5. Test Your Navigation

  1. Click Save 🖱️

  2. Open your store on the live site

  3. Click the arrow and confirm it moves to the correct page

💡 Tip: Use arrow labels like ← MEN’S and WOMEN’S → for a more immersive experience.
