To learn about each setting, check out the following table. 

Setting

Description

Allow commenting on screens

When toggled on, link viewers can comment on prototype screens.

Allow access to all screens in prototype

When toggled on, link viewers can navigate between screens by using the Left and Right Arrow keys or by clicking the screens icon (). When toggled off, link viewers can only navigate between screens via hotspots.

Password Protect

Enabling password protection lets you create a custom password for your prototype. When you send someone a share link, they’ll need to enter the password to view the prototype.
Note: If you're on an Enterprise plan and require authentication for share links, you will not see this setting.

Start the share link at

This setting lets you choose the screen your prototype will start on.

Hotspots enabled

When toggled on, viewers can navigate your screens by clicking any hotspots you've created. When toggled off, viewers can only navigate the prototype by using the Left and Right Arrow keys or by clicking the screens icon.

Prevent hotspot hinting

When toggled on, your hotspots won't flash when someone clicks a prototype screen. This is especially useful when conducting user testing.

Require user identification

When you require user identification, viewers must enter their name and email address to view the prototype (unless they are already signed in to their InVision account).
Note: If you're on an Enterprise plan and require authentication for share links, you won't see this setting.

Show Inspect Link

When toggled on, viewers can click the Inspect icon () to request access or sign in.

If you're on an Enterprise plan and the viewer is an external user, requesting Inspect access will send an email to the Enterprise owner. Before the requester can access Inspect, they must become a member of the Enterprise.

If you want to edit the settings of a share link you've previously created, you will be able to do it from the Manage share links page. See more information and the steps you'll need to follow in this article: Managing share links

TipTo hide the InVision logo and UI buttons while viewing a prototype via a share link, the viewers can use the keyboard shortcut Command + Shift + .
