Integrating repeating elements such as navigation bars into a design system is tricky, as these elements usually need a slight modification on each screen. To ease this task, Flowrabbit supports Master Screens.
When to use:
Prototypes often share the same design elements across multiple screens. Examples include navigation bars or visual styles for text and buttons. The simplest way to share the elements is to copy them from one screen to another. This approach has a significant drawback. Once you want to change the style of the elements, you have to apply the changes on all screens.
How it works:
For such scenarios, we introduced Master Screens in Flowrabbit.com. A master screen is a kind of symbol for screens that different screens in your app can extend. Changes to the master screen are automatically updated in all screens. It’s basically like a master slide in PowerPoint, but we extended the concept to boost productivity further. In Flowrabbit, you can extend (or override) the master screen for selected elements, for instance, to highlight the current position in the screen flow.
