Features

Explore all the features in Overflow, split by workflow steps.

Syncing

Sync designs from popular design tools

Overflow integrates with Adobe XD and Photoshop, Sketch, and Figma, allowing you to quickly and seamlessly sync your designs.

Resync to apply design changes

Iterate on your designs and resync to transfer visual changes over. Your connectors automatically adapt to your updated artboards.

Prototyping links are preserved

Prototyping links added in your design tool can optionally be transferred into Overflow as connectors, giving you a head-start in creating your user flow.

Design

Connect layers to screens

Drag connectors from any layer on your artboard. When synced from a design tool, all layers are transferred without the need to create hotspots.

A connector starts from one screen's layer and ends in another screen.

Fully customizable connectors

Change connectors to match your brand identity or personal style. You can edit colors, starting and ending points, labels, and more.

Create logical flows

Use shapes to illustrate decision trees and conditional flows.
