<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\nBefore you start preparing your Figma prototype for testing, we recommend that you\u00a0<\/span>make a copy of your prototype that will be used in testing<\/b>. That way, you will keep the original even if you make adjustments specific to testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your prototype should be made up from Frames<\/b>. UXtweak converts individual frames on the top level into designs in Prototype Testing. All components of a design should be included inside a Frame. There shouldn’t be any elements left outside Frames, or UXtweak may not interpret them as you would expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your Figma file is made up of multiple Pages,\u00a0<\/span>make sure to note down the name of the page you would like to import<\/b>. You will be asked to do so in the import process.<\/p>\n\n\n Click the\u00a0<\/span>Share<\/b>\u00a0<\/span>button and make sure that\u00a0<\/span>Anyone with a link<\/b>\u00a0<\/span>can view your prototype.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Click this button in your prototype in Figma to access the correct share link. Make sure that you are in the prototype, not the design file.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n Then click Copy link<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here you can set up how your prototype should be shared. Make sure, that it is set to “Anyone with the link” can view.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n If your company prohibits public sharing of prototypes, you need to follow these steps to import your prototype:<\/p>\n\n\n\n When importing the prototype set to “only people invited to this file can access” these two email addresses – the owner of the Figma file and the account in Figma to which you are logged in, must be the same<\/p>\n <\/div>\n When importing the prototype set to “only people invited to this file can access” these two email addresses – the owner of the Figma file and the account in Figma to which you are logged in, must be the same<\/p>\n <\/div>\n If your prototype takes longer than a minute to import, you should consider the below steps to optimize your prototype for import. These modification will make your prototype import faster during study setup, as well as load efficiently for your respondents. Quick loading helps avoid frustration. More respondents will be willing to participate if you’re respectful to their download volume (some may be using limited data plans).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Below you can find some of the most frequent cases, which can happen, and how to address them.<\/p>\n\n\n When start importing your Figma prototype into your Prototype Testing study, the first step which will take place is \u201cChecking your prototype\u201d:<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this step UXtweak accesses the prototype on Figma, before downloading it. Any complications in this step are most likely connected to incorrect sharing of the prototype from Figma.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n If the import is interrupted in this step, your prototype is most likely not shared properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The link to your figma prototype is always structured as follows:\u00a0<\/span>https:\/\/www.figma.com\/proto\/{PrototypeID}\/{queryparameters}<\/b>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are\u00a0<\/span>two checks<\/b>\u00a0<\/span>to confirm your prototype is shared properly. Both of these checks\u00a0<\/span>require opening an incognito or similar window<\/b>\u00a0<\/span>in your browser:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you include a password in your prototype on Figma, it shouldn\u2019t influence the import in any way. However, you would need to put in the password to preview the prototype on the Designs tab or in the preview mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The participants will need to put in the password during their participation as well. If they are using Chrome browser and never opened a Figma website on that browser before, they might need to do so in a separate tab, to agree to Figma cookies. This case can be easily identified by the participants not being able to put in the password in the Figma modal.<\/p>\n\n\n When you try to import your Figma prototype and encounter the following modal:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This modal shows up in cases, when you are logged in to an account in Figma, which isn’t an owner of a protected prototype, you are trying to import.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n It means the prototype is set to\u00a0<\/span>\u201conly people invited to this file can access\u201d<\/b>\u00a0<\/span>and you are logged in a Figma account, which is not the owner of the prototype. To finish the import, you will need to switch your Figma account to the account, which is the owner of the prototype.<\/p>\n\n\n Components imported in the Figma file from a design library are just a shallow copy from the library and aren’t included with all structure sections of the element. In this case only variant names are imported instead of the full variant children, which are necessary to properly track the interactions in the setup of paths and recording of the interactions. As a solution we suggest copying the component into the same file and creating instances of this deep copy instead of the instances from the library version of the component.<\/p>\n\n\n If you encounter any errors during this portion of the import, when the designs are loaded:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This portion of import is the actual download of the prototype from Figma to UXtweak.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n Please contact our support team to help you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Before you import your Figma prototype into UXtweak’s Prototype Testing, it’s good to make sure that everything in your prototype is in the right order and has been properly adjusted to accomodate testing.
