+# Animating elements between screens
+
+This guide covers how to animate elements between screens. This feature is known as a [Shared Element Transition](https://docs.swmansion.com/react-native-reanimated/docs/api/sharedElementTransitions) and it's implemented in the native stack with [React Native Reanimated](https://docs.swmansion.com/react-native-reanimated/).
+
+Before continuing, make sure to install and configure [`react-native-reanimated`](https://docs.swmansion.com/react-native-reanimated/docs/fundamentals/installation).
+
+> Note: Shared Element Transitions require React Native Reanimated v3.0.0 or higher, and as of writing this guide, it's considered an experimental feature not recommended for production use.

+</div>
+
+## Minimal example
+
+To create a shared transition, simply assign the same `sharedTransitionTag` to elements on different screens in a native stack. This prop is a string that has to be unique in the context of a single screen, but has to match elements between screens. Similarly to the [`key`](https://react.dev/learn/rendering-lists#keeping-list-items-in-order-with-key) property, which tells React which element in the list is which, `sharedElementTag` allows Reanimated to identify and animate elements. Components that you'd like to animate have to be `Animated` versions imported from `react-native-reanimated`. The animation will start automatically when you navigate between screens.
+
+```jsx
+import * as React from 'react';
+import { View, Button, StyleSheet } from 'react-native';
+import { NavigationContainer } from '@react-navigation/native';
+import { createNativeStackNavigator } from '@react-navigation/native-stack';
+
+import Animated from 'react-native-reanimated';
+
+const Stack = createNativeStackNavigator();
+
+function HomeScreen({ navigation }) {
+  return (
+    <View style={styles.container}>
+      <Button
+        title="Go to Details"
+        onPress={() => navigation.navigate('Details')}
+      />
+      <Animated.Image
+        source={{ uri: 'https://picsum.photos/id/39/200' }}
+        style={{ width: 300, height: 300 }}
+        // highlight-next-line
+        sharedTransitionTag="tag"
+      />
+    </View>
+  );
+}
+
+function DetailsScreen({ navigation }) {
+  return (
+    <View style={styles.container}>
+      <Button title="Go back" onPress={() => navigation.goBack()} />
+      <Animated.Image
+        source={{ uri: 'https://picsum.photos/id/39/200' }}
+        style={{ width: 100, height: 100 }}
+        // highlight-next-line
+        sharedTransitionTag="tag"
+      />
+    </View>
+  );
+}
+
+export default function App() {
+  return (
+    <NavigationContainer>
+      <Stack.Navigator>
+        <Stack.Screen name="Home" component={HomeScreen} />
+        <Stack.Screen name="Details" component={DetailsScreen} />
+      </Stack.Navigator>
+    </NavigationContainer>
+  );
+}
+
+const styles = StyleSheet.create({
+  container: {
+    flex: 1,
+    alignItems: 'center',
+  },
+});
+```
+
+## Customizing the transition
+
+By default, the transition animates the `width`, `height`, `originX`, `originY` and `transform` properties using `withTiming` with a 500 ms duration. You can easily customize `width`, `height`, `originX`, and `originY` props. Customizing `transform` is also possible but it's far beyond the scope of this guide.
+
+> Note: Custom SharedTransition API is not finalized and might change in a future release.
+
+To customize the transition you need to pass all the properties besides `transform`.
+
+```jsx
+import { SharedTransition } from 'react-native-reanimated';
+
+const customTransition = SharedTransition.custom((values) => {
+  'worklet';
+  return {
+    height: withSpring(values.targetHeight),
+    width: withSpring(values.targetWidth),
+    originX: withSpring(values.targetOriginX),
+    originY: withSpring(values.targetOriginY),
+  };
+});
+
+function HomeScreen() {
+  return (
+    <Animated.Image
+      style={{ width: 300, height: 300 }}
+      sharedTransitionTag="tag"
+      // highlight-next-line
+      sharedTransitionStyle={customTransition} // add this to both elements on both screens
+    />
+  );
+}
+```
+
+## Reference
+
+You can find a full Shared Element Transitions reference in the [React Native Reanimated documentation](https://docs.swmansion.com/react-native-reanimated/docs/api/sharedElementTransitions).
+
+## Alternatives
+
+Alternatively, you can use [`react-native-shared-element`](https://github.com/IjzerenHein/react-native-shared-element) library with a [React Navigation binding](https://github.com/IjzerenHein/react-navigation-shared-element) which implements Shared Element Transitions in a JS-based Stack navigator. This solution, however, isn't actively maintained.
+
+The [`react-native-navigation`](https://github.com/wix/react-native-navigation) also comes with support for Shared Element Transitions. You can read more about it [here](https://wix.github.io/react-native-navigation/docs/style-animations#shared-element-transitions).
