Interactions panel

Use the Interactions panel to add interactions, scroll scenes and other interactions actions to the selected element.

On this page

Interactions panel is only visible if Pinegrow Interactions are enabled on your Pinegrow Web Editor license. You can check that in Support › Purchase & Activate screen. There you can also get Interactions if you don’t have them already

The Interactions Panel is used to add interactions actions to elements on the page.

Here, we’ll first take a look at the available actions. Instructions on using the panel itself follow after that.

Interactions actions

Check out the guides for interactions actions to learn how to use them:

Interactions

Use the Interactions action to add one or more interactions to the selected element.

Scroll Scene

Use Scroll Scene action to animate the element as it scrolls in and out of view.

Hide at Start

Add Hide at start to elements that need to be hidden when page loads so that you can reveal them with interactions.

Show at Start

Place Show at start on elements that need to be displayed when page loads so that you can hide them with interactions.

Smooth Scroll

Use the Smooth Scroll action to smooth the scroll wheel scrolling. That makes the Scroll scene animations appear more natural.

Apply to Many

Use this action to copy all interactions actions from this element to other elements on the page.

Using the Interactions Panel

By default, Interactions panel is located next to the Style panel:

Interactions panel for a div with Interaction 1 set to a Mousedown or Touchstart trigger, target default this element and Custom animation.

Activating interactions on the page

Before you can start using interactions, you have to activate them on the current page:

Interactions panel message reading Interactions are not activated on this page, with an Activate Interactions button.

That will add Interactions Javascript library to your project and insert the script reference to the footer of the page.

A short snippet of dynamic inline styles will be added to the head of the page. They are used to hide and show elements in an accessible way.

Adding interaction actions to elements

To add a new interaction to an element on the page, select that element and then click on one of the interactions actions:

All Interactions list for a link: Interactions, Scroll Scene, Hide At Start, Show At Start, Smooth Scroll and Apply To Many.

Multiple actions can be added to the same element, for example Interactions, Hide at Start and Apply to Many.

Once the action is added, you can set how it works by tweaking its settings:

Interaction 1 for a link with its trigger, target, animation and advanced options such as repeat, duration, delay and prevent default action.

Removing the action

Click on the bin icon to remove the action from the selected element:

Interactions panel with the trash icon highlighted to remove the action from the selected element.

Copy-paste actions

You can copy and paste actions, either one by one, or all at once:

Interactions panel with the copy icons for copying all actions from the element and copying just this action.

Then, use CTRL (CMD on Mac) + V or the Clipboard to paste actions to another element.
