How to Fix "InVision Prototype Links Not Working in Share View"
Sharing interactive prototypes is a core feature of InVision, but it can be frustrating when links within your prototype fail to function correctly in Share View.
This issue is often linked to broken interactions, missing artboards, or browser compatibility problems.
To start, review your prototype's interactions in the design tool you used (e.g., Sketch or Figma).
Ensure all hotspots and transitions are properly linked to existing screens or frames.
InVision depends on accurate interaction mapping to generate functional prototypes.
Check for artboards or screens that have been deleted or moved since the prototype was created, as these changes can break links.
Next, test your prototype in multiple browsers.
InVision recommends using modern browsers like Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox for optimal compatibility.
Clear your browser cache and cookies to eliminate potential conflicts caused by outdated session data.
If the links still don’t work, inspect the prototype settings in InVision.
Navigate to the Build Mode
of your prototype and confirm that all interactions are mapped correctly.
Update or reassign broken links to the correct destinations.
Additionally, verify the URL structure of your shared link.
Sometimes, minor edits to the prototype can generate a new sharing URL.
Ensure that stakeholders are using the latest link to access the updated version.
If hotspots overlap with interactive elements, such as buttons or input fields, resizing or repositioning the hotspots can resolve click detection issues.
To ensure a seamless experience, avoid using hotspot shapes that extend beyond their intended clickable areas.
Lastly, consider regenerating the prototype.
Export the updated design file from your design tool and re-import it into InVision to create a fresh prototype free from potential interaction errors.
