Why Use a Mouse to Exit Popup

2. Set the popup settings:
   1. Name your popup, for instance, “Demo Popup”.
   2. Set the location to ‘Everywhere’.
   3. Under ‘Popup Opens When’, set the trigger on ‘Mouse Moves to Exit’.
      
3. Edit your popup with Breakdance and design it by adding elements, or paste a pre-designed popup.
   
4. Save your changes and exit to the front end.
   
5. Test the popup by moving your mouse towards the top of the browser window as if to exit.
