Just been playing around with the new Motion feature and it looks pretty good for a beta - however I can’t quite understand how to use Motion for animating states on a component ie. hovers etc.

I want an arrow on a button to move when I hover over the button. This currently doesn’t seem possible without using the old school prototype function instead. I would like to use Motion rather so that my developers can export out the relevant motion properties. 

 

If I put the animation on the default component variant then the animation plays regardless.. If I put it on the hover variant then it’s all jumpy due to the prototype tool trying to animate it as well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

 

Help?
