US Patent 11762531 Stateful widget container management for interactive designs

A method involves identifying state views of a stateful widget container in a design tool having a canvas design context and an all-states view design context, each state view of the stateful widget container being associated with a unique state of the stateful widget container. A first state view of the stateful widget container is displayed in the canvas design context, no other state view of the stateful widget container being displayed concurrently in the canvas design context. The state views of the stateful widget container are displayed concurrently in the all-states view design context, an internal widget layout of each state view corresponding to that displayed in the canvas design context. A first user input is received at a first interactive widget within the stateful widget container in the all-states view design context, the first interactive widget being associated with the first state view of the stateful widget container.
