Attaching a prototype

To attach a prototype to a Jira issue:

1. Open your prototype in InVision Cloud and create a share URL.
2. Navigate to your Jira issue and, under the InVision section, enter the share URL.
3. Click Attach 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, you will need to be signed in to your InVision account. The sign-in modal will appear as a separate pop-up window, so please ensure that pop-ups are allowed. To preview without commenting or inspecting capabilities, click Continue as guest.

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