You can create and manage public share links for any prototype. Depending on the link settings, viewers can click through a prototype, leave comments, and request access to Inspect.

To create a public link, open your prototype and select Share. At the bottom of the pop-up modal, select public share link. A link is copied to your clipboard and you can then share with others.

To adjust the share link settings, select Link Settings at the bottom of the sharing modal. Learn more about link settings.

To view and manage existing share links:

  1. Sign in to InVision and navigate to the Documents page.
  2. Open your prototype and select More (•••).
  3. Select Manage share links.

You can also access the Share links page by selecting the Shares tab in your prototype or selecting Share > Manage Links (at the bottom of the sharing modal).

For each share link, you can see the settings, check the number of views, and copy the link. The following table details what each column in the Existing Shares dialog represents.

You can edit the settings and the screen selection of an existing share link and add a title without changing the link. 

To edit the settings of an existing share link:

  1. Open your prototype and select More (•••).
  2. Select Manage share links.
  3. Next to the share link you want to update, select More (•••), then select Edit settings.
  4. Update the settings and the screen selection, then select Update share at the lower-right corner of the page.

From that page you can also add a title to a share link to help locate it. Next to the share link you want to update, select More (•••) > Add title. Add a title for the share link and select Update share at the lower-right corner of the page.

If you no longer want viewers to access a share link, you can permanently revoke it.

To revoke a share link:

  1. Open your prototype and select More (•••).
  2. Select Manage share links.
  3. Next to a share link, select More (•••), then select Revoke.
    Note: If you want to revoke all existing links for the prototype, navigate to the bottom of the page and select Revoke all share links. To confirm, select OK.
