Adding assets via Craft Sync

Using Craft Sync, you can add assets directly from Sketch or Photoshop. Located within the Assets tab of your prototype, these assets will appear in the Images > Inspect folder.

To add assets from Sketch, mark the desired layer as exportable in Sketch. Then sync your prototype to InVision using Craft Sync. After doing so, you should notice the assets in the Assets tab.

To add assets from Photoshop, append ".png" to the end of the layer name and sync your prototype to InVision using Craft Sync.
