Add documents and shortcuts to your favorite apps—including Adobe XD, Figma, Google Drive, and Asana—to InVision to keep all the information you and your team needs in one place.
As long as you have view access to the document, you can add it to your home page, group, or space.
Currently, it’s not possible to add shortcuts to documents on private networks behind a firewall (e.g., intranets).
Add a document or shortcut to InVision
You can add various types of documents or shorcuts to InVision to create a centralized hub for all the information you and your team need.
Permission settings on the document or link will affect the way others can interact with the document in InVision. For example, if someone tries to open a document in InVision but hasn't been given permission in Figma or Google to view the document, they’ll need to request access.
