Interaction Overview
Adding interactions to your effect can make for a more engaging experience. With just one click, you can add interactive features that manipulate object visibility, animation playback, and much more. Learn more about how to add an interaction to your effect.
When you add an interaction to an object in the Hierarchy panel, the interactions that show up in the menu depend on the component attached to the object.
