Animation links display tag values, colors, positions, trends and other visual behavior. Operation links handle commands, value entry and page navigation. Decide what an element displays, then define what a click or drag should do.
Sliders and knobs are documented examples using both: configure Animation Link → Scale, then Operation Link → User Input → Slider or Knob. Set direction, limits and user-group permissions. Use combinations supported by that control rather than assuming every animation and operation can be combined.
