[Solved] How do I create a guide page?

Hi @mom7667yafy,

You can arrange for something to happen the first time a user opens your app and never again using stored variables.

Create a stored variable in your app. Call it returning .


When your app opens, check if returning is true.
If it is true, open your app as normally.
If it is not true, execute whatever you want to happen the first time a user visits your app.

In this example, the user is brought to a once-off screen when returning is not true. When returning is true, they are brought to a standard screen for returning users.


So the first time the app is opened:

  • returning doesn’t have a value yet
  • The app checks if returning is true - it isn’t
  • The app sets returning to true
  • The app navigates to First Time Screen

When the user opens the app again in the future:

  • returning is set to true
  • The app checks if returning is true - it is
  • The app navigates to Returning Screen

Navigating to different screens can be replaced with whatever you want to do with returning and first-time users.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
