Artboard Switcher

RAV can display any artboard in a .riv file and switch between them without reloading the file. The Artboard / Animation control section appears in the Properties panel when a file is loaded.

Artboard Dropdown

Lists every artboard in the loaded file. Selecting a different artboard tears down the current Rive instance and creates a new one. Playback starts automatically.

Playback Dropdown

Shows the exact authored state machine and timeline animation names available on the selected artboard. Labels preserve original capitalization and formatting. State machines are listed first.

VM Instance Selector

When the selected artboard's ViewModel definition has multiple named instances, an additional dropdown appears. Selecting a different instance binds it to the runtime and re-renders the controls with that instance's values.

Reset to Default

The DEFAULT button returns to the artboard and state machine that were detected when the file was first loaded.

Export Behavior

Standalone exports and generated snippets always capture the exact artboard, playback target, and ViewModel state currently shown in the viewer.
