What occurs when a second interaction interrupts an ongoing Auto-Animate transition in Adobe XD?

Adobe XD’s Auto-Animate feature interpolates changes between artboards for layers that share the same name, producing smooth transitions during prototype playback.

When a viewer triggers a new interaction while an Auto‑Animate transition is still in progress, the product’s public documentation does not specify whether the ongoing animation should finish, snap to the destination state, or restart from the interrupted point.

This ambiguity leaves teams uncertain about prototype reliability under rapid tapping, especially now that XD is in maintenance mode with no announced roadmap for clarifying the behavior.

What defines the exact outcome of an interrupted Auto‑Animate transition, and how does it vary between desktop preview, shared web preview, and different XD builds?
