With Start Points you can choose which frame your prototype starts with when you preview it.

Setting a start point

To set a Start Point, open your prototype in the Preview window, select a frame from the drop-down menu, and click Start Point. You can also set a Start Point for a prototype in the Prototype tab of the Inspector by selecting the Set as prototype start point checkbox. Sketch will also automatically create a Start Point when you add your first Link.

How to add a prototyping Start Point to a frame

Whenever you preview your prototype, you’ll always start with the frame you’ve set as your Start Point.

To remove a Start Point, select the frame in the Preview window and click Start Point again, or deselect the Set as prototype start point checkbox in the Prototype tab of the Inspector.

Setting multiple Start Points

You can set more than one Start Point to guide your users through different aspects of more complex designs, such as a sign-up or user settings flow, for example.

Every time you set a new Start Point, it’ll appear as a different prototype in the same document in the web app or the iPhone app.
