How to create links between screens? – Fastory

Want to redirect your users to a specific screen and build real navigation journeys within your experience? With the internal navigation button, you can link your screens together in just a few clicks, without a single line of code.

What is it for?

The internal navigation button links the screens of your experience to one another. Instead of making users follow a strictly linear flow, you can send them to a specific screen when they click a button.

This lets you build custom navigation journeys: menus, tables of contents, back navigation, or branching paths based on the user's choices.

How does it work?

Add a button component to your screen.

Open the Button settings.

Select the Internal URL option.

Choose the screen you want to redirect the user to.

The button then becomes an internal link: when clicked, the user is sent straight to the destination screen you defined.

Best practices

Give each button a clear label that shows exactly where it leads.

Name your screens properly so you can easily find them when choosing the destination.

Check every redirection by testing your experience before publishing it.

Limit the number of possible paths from a single screen so users don't get lost.

Concrete use cases

If you want to create a navigation menu

Place several buttons on a home screen and assign each one an Internal URL pointing to a different section of your experience. Users choose where to go themselves.

If you want to offer a way back to a previous screen

Add a button set to an Internal URL pointing to your home screen or a table of contents, so users can go back at any time.

If you want to guide users based on their choices

Offer several buttons, each leading to a different screen, to create branching paths and adapt the journey based on the user's answer.
