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 . 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.

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 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.
