In this video i'll show you how to create and prototype dropdown menus and submenus on hover and addressing some challenges like when you place dropdowns a few pixels away from the interaction triggers and etc..

It can be harder than it seems because when you have a gap between the element that triggers the hover and the overlay, for example, when your mouse hits that gap, the interaction will cancel itself and that's what makes it a bit tricky and also the fact that you can't bundle certain interactions to the same component.
