Learn about object properties supported for auto-animate transitions.

Depending on which object properties are modified, XD uses auto-animate to animate them across the artboards. Some properties change at the start or end, and some animate over the duration of the transition.

Limitations

  • Prototypes using auto-animate have certain limitation with text animation. We currently do not support animating character spacing, line spacing, and paragraph spacing on the web.
  • Prototypes using auto-animate does not support animation playback and dissolves between the start and end artboard when viewed on the following browsers:
    • IE 11
    • Edge 15
    • iOS10

As a workaround, you can open the prototype in any of the other supported browsers listed in the System Requirements.
