Share specific prototype screens

Designers and managers often need to orient collaborators by sharing a curated view of screens. InVision V7 gives you two ways to organize screens into groups, which you can then share as a document link:

• Create and share a set of screens
• Filter with screen labels, comment type, or keyword and share the filtered view

You can also create public share links for sets of screens and/or filtered views. For instructions, see Creating a public share link to specific screens below.

Share a document link to a set of screens

Organizing InVision V7 prototype screens into sets is especially useful when working with larger prototypes or when needing feedback on a particular user flow.

After creating a new set and moving screens to it, it's time to copy and share the document share link, which takes recipients directly to your set of screens.

To copy and share a document link to your set:

1. In the left panel of the screens overview page, click the set you want to share.
2. At the top-right corner of the page, click Share.
3. Click the Members & Guests tab.
4. To the right of Copy link, click Settings.
5. In the Manage sharing settings modal, select options for the Who can open this document? and What can they do settings.

6. Click Save.
7. Back in the share dialog, click Copy Link, and share the URL as wanted.

Share a document link for a group of filtered screens

The ability to create custom filtered views with InVision V7 prototype screen labels lets you share document links to each curated view. Editors of an individual prototype can manage the labels available for that prototype as well as create new labels, like Jira milestones, and edit the names and colors of the labels in our starter set: In Progress, Needs Review, or Approved.

After creating and/or adding labels to your screens, you're ready to copy and share the document link URL, which takes recipients directly to your filtered view.

To filter your screens and share a document link URL:

1. Just below the collaborator avatars on the screens overview page, click the Filters dropdown. 
2. Click the appropriate label.
   
   To apply multiple filters, select each label.
3. At the top right, click Share.
4. Click the Members & Guests tab.
5. To the right of Copy link, click Settings.
6. In the Manage sharing settings modal, select options for the Who can open this document? and What can they do settings.

7. Click Save.
8. Back in the share dialog, click Copy Link, and share the URL as wanted.

Use public share links

Public share links make it easy to share your prototypes and boards with a broader audience that's not part of your team. If you are on an Enterprise plan, you can also password protect public links.

Only users with edit permissions in a prototype can create public share links for that document.

Create a public share link

To create a public share link:

1. Open the document and, at the top right, click Share.
2. In the share dialog, click the Public tab, and then click Get Public Link.
   

   If there is an existing public link for the document, you won't see the Get Public Link screen.

3. Click Update public link settings, make any changes to your settings, and then click Done.
4. Back in the share dialog, Copy the public link URL. You can now share that public link with anyone you choose.

Create a public share link to specific screens

To share a curated view of specific screens, you can create a public share link for screen sets, screens filtered by labels, screens filtered by comments, screens filtered by search term, or all of the above:

To create a public share link to a specific group of screens:

1. Filter your screens:
   • In the left panel of the screens overview page, select any screen sets you want to include.
   • Just below the collaborator avatars on the screens overview page, click the Filters drop-down, and select comment filters and the appropriate screen label/s.
   • At the top left of the canvas, click the search icon () and enter key terms (if applicable).
2. On the canvas, hover over a screen and click the selection icon in the top-left corner.
3. In the toolbar that appeared at the bottom of the canvas, click Select all.
4. Click the share icon ().
5. Click Update public link settings, configure each setting, and click Done.
   
   If you want your public link viewers to see the name of any screen sets you've included, toggle off the Hide InVision UI setting. If the InVision toolbar is hidden, viewers will not see the name of the set.
6. Click Copy and share the URL.

Delete a public share link

At some point, you may want to revoke public access to a public link.

To delete a public share link for a prototype:

1. Open a prototype and, at the top right, click Share.
2. Click the Public tab, and then click Update public link settings.
3. Click Delete link. The public link is immediately deleted and no longer accessible.
