Links to Next/Previous Pages and Sections

You can link dynamically to the next or previous item in your experience. This can be to a page or section.

Example Structure

To best understand how to use next and previous links, this guide will use the following experience structure:

Add a link to the next or previous page

To link to the next or previous page within a section, then from the link panel:

1. Go to “Pages and Actions“
2. Select “Fixed Action“
3. From the dropdown “Action“, select either “Next Page” or “Previous Page“.
4. Click “Save“.

If a page is hidden

If you have applied “Next Page” on Page 4, then the user will be taken to Page 5. The fact that Page 5 is hidden does not impact the next action.

If there is no previous/next page

If you have applied “Previous Page” on Page 4, then no action will occur as Page 4 is the first page in the section.

If the page order changes

The next or previous page action will always reflect the current page order.

If the following changes are made:

Then the “Next Page” action on Page 4, will now go to Page 6. The “Previous Page” action on Page 4 will now be applicable and go to Page 5.

Add a link to the next or previous section

To link to the next or previous section within an experience, then from the link panel:

1. Go to “Pages and Actions“
2. Select “Fixed Action“
3. From the dropdown “Action“, select either “Next Section” or “Previous Section“.
4. Click “Save“.

If a section is hidden

If you have applied “Next Section” on Section 2 Page 4, then the user will be taken to Section 3 Page 7. The fact that Section 3 is hidden does not impact the next section action.

If there is no previous or next section

If you have applied “Previous Section” on Section 1 Page 3, then no action will occur as Section 1 is the first section in the experience.

If the section order changes

The next or previous section action will always reflect the current section order.

If the following changes are made:

Then the “Next Section” action on Section 2 Page 4, will now go to Section 4 Page 10. Then the “Previous Section” action on Section 1 Page 3, will now become applicable and go to Section 3 Page 7.
