to add the plugin.
4. Launch the Arcade Plugin

6. Sync Your Frame to Arcade
With your frame selected, click Sync
in the plugin to push the image into your Arcade workspace for editing.
7. Add a Hotspot in Arcade
Once your frame loads in Arcade, double-click anywhere on the image to place a hotspot. Drag to size the hotspot and add a link, tooltip, or call-to-action.
8. Preview and Share
Use Arcade’s Preview
mode to test your hotspots, then copy the share link or embed code to publish your interactive image.
