Hello


I'm using hotspots to do drill-downs in a complicated architectural model. The challenge I'm trying to solve is to enable the user to "drill out"... Right now it looks like I'd have to manually add a "Back" hotspot and connect it back to the parent model... this is a PITA plus it falls apart if I have a model that multiple parent models link to.


So... simple question: How can I enable a "Back Button" analog when using HotSpots?

Hi Bob


Thanks for reaching out on Lucidchart Community!


First to clarify - are the different drill-downs separate pages or layers in your document? If they are separate pages I would look at creating Master pages with a back button linking to the parent model you want to reference then applying the master page to the applicable drill-downs. 


That's the only solution I can come up with. I hope I understood your use case correctly.
