Not sure if its an issue or how scroll works in the prototype. Image attached:
I am designing a side menu using a 1440x1080 artboard, The only way to get scrolling working in my side menu is setting the scroll window to 1080px high (which makes sense!) However, This means i have to go back to the canvas and move the scroll window to allow me to edit the design in the canvas and reset it before going back to the prototype to check it repeatedly.
Is this correct or have I set this up poorly ?
Hi Mark,
Thanks for sharing this! There are two ways to make editing on canvas easier: using a larger background or using a symbol.
Get the difference between your side menu’s height and your design’s height. Add this value to the height of your side menu’s background. Done! This will make the scroll work and no more editing of the scroll window
For instance, in this example, my design is 900 and my side menu is 1400. I added the 500 difference to the background layer of my side menu, making it 1900 tall:
Turn your side menu into a symbol and then add an instance of it to the overlay you want to use to create the scrolling effect. Group it and make it scrollable. Any edits you make take place in the symbol source, which allows you to see all the contents
Here’s a sample file too. I hope this is useful

Thanks Jorge, both options would work just fine for me. I’ll try out the symbol solution. Thanks again.
