Attaching a prototype

An interactive preview of your prototype will appear.

Interacting with a prototype

After you attach a prototype, a thumbnail image will appear. Any time you make changes to the prototype in InVision, the changes will appear in Jira.

To preview all screens in the prototype, click the thumbnail image. Alternately, navigate to the top right of the image and click the expand button (). If you want to comment on or inspect the prototype, sign in to your InVision account. To just interact with the prototype, click Continue as guest.

Note: The sign-in modal will appear as a separate pop-up window, so please ensure that pop-ups are allowed.

To close the prototype, navigate to the top right and click the X button.
