Resizing All the States of One Button at Once
I have a button that changes states based if you press hint or not. The way we use this button throughout the scene changes in detentions from scene to scene.
Is there a way to resize a button and have all its states resize with it?
Right now I have to edit each state to the right size separately.

Hello Stephanie!
Great question! It sounds like you're hoping to change the size of a button that has multiple states. To achieve this, make changes to the Normal State as they will change the size for the additional states. Here's a quick screen recording to see this step in action.
Thank you, but does this work with a button in a hidden state? For the button we have a hidden state and a alternate state (that pops up when you press another "hint" button) The hidden state is the default state.
For some reason when we resize the hidden state the alternate state doesn't resize with it.
Making changes to any state other than the Normal state will only change the state you're editing. For example, making changes to the Hidden state will only change the Hidden state. Making changes to the Normal state will change all the states.
I am also trying to copy the size of a state ( which is an image, not a vector) to the other states but it doesn't work. Could it be that it only works on vectors and not on images?
Hello Marieken,
Can you provide us with some more information on how you are copying the sizes of your state so we can check why you are experiencing the behavior? It would be helpful if we could see a video, so we can try to replicate it on our end.
