How to create a custom help screen for your FlutterFlow app?

Step 1: Open the FlutterFlow Project

The initial step in creating a custom help screen for your FlutterFlow app is to select and open the relevant project from your Flutterflow dashboard.

Step 2: Navigate to the Navigation Bar

Once your project is open, find the navigation bar located at the left side of your interface. This bar contains multiple options to help you design your app in FlutterFlow.

Step 3: Select 'Add Pages' Option

On the navigation bar, identify and click on ‘Add Pages’ option. It is usually located towards the middle of the navigation bar. This action will create a new screen or page for your app.

Step 4: Creating a Help Page

Once you select the 'Add Pages' option, a dialogue box will appear. Provide a name to your help page, for instance 'HelpScreen'.

Step 5: Customize Your Help Screen

After naming your help screen, you need to design it according to your app style. Start adding widgets like 'text', 'buttons', 'icons', etc. to customize your help screen.

To add widgets:

  • Identify the 'Widgets' option on the navigation bar and click on it. A drop-down menu will showcase the available widgets.
  • Drag the chosen widget and drop it on your ‘HelpScreen’ canvas.
  • Customize the widget according to your preference. When you click on the added widget, a settings bar will appear on the right side where you can change the properties like color, size, and more.

Step 6: Provide Relevant Information on Your Help Screen

Your help screen should provide necessary information to guide the user. This could include common problems and questions, functionality of the different features of the app, troubleshooting advice, etc.

Step 7: Saving Changes

After you've added all necessary information and customized your help screen, save your changes. The 'Save Changes' button is usually located at top right corner of the interface.

Step 8: Link the Help Screen

Your help screen is now created. The next step is to link it to your app. Go to the main interface of your app and decide where you want to place the link for the help screen. It could be within the settings menu, profile page, header, or any other accessible location.

Step 9: Adding a Redirect Button

Once you have chosen a place for the help screen link, add a 'Button' or 'Icon' widget. Customize it according to your preferences like you did earlier while customizing the help screen.

Step 10: Linking the Button to Help Screen

Then go to its properties and under the 'actions' preferences, select 'Navigate to a screen'. A drop down will appear showing all available screens. Select 'HelpScreen', which is the name of your help page that you created before.

Step 11: Test Your App

Finally, test your app to ensure that the added help screen is functioning appropriately. You can use FlutterFlow’s in-built emulator feature for testing.

Remember that the help it provides should be clear and concise. Additionally, the navigation to and from the help screen should be smooth and intuitive.

Now, your FlutterFlow app has a custom help screen ready to keep your users informed and to enhance user experience.
