Sketch file backup with Craft

This article provides answers for InVision V7 To confirm your version, check the upper right corner of your dashboard.

When publishing a prototype with Craft Sync, you can also upload a backup copy of the Sketch source file to InVision, so the latest version of your design is always available for download from a centralized location.

Other collaborators with edit access to the prototype can also see and download the Sketch source file, further streamlining on-the-fly collaboration—not to mention those I got your back moments when last-second changes come up before a presentation.

Before you start

• This feature is currently only available in InVision V7.
• It is only possible to sync one backup file per prototype. The most recent file will override the existing file.
