Invision for UX Design

InVision has evolved into more of a collaboration and communication hub for design than a hands-on design tool.

How InVision Is Used

Prototyping & User Flows

Teams use InVision for creating interactive, clickable prototypes — especially when they want to simulate end-to-end experiences using static screens.


Design Presentation

InVision’s strength is in showcasing designs: organizing flows, adding context, guiding stakeholders through experiences, and annotating with explanations.


Feedback Collection

Stakeholders and collaborators can leave comments on specific elements, enabling asynchronous reviews and discussions across time zones.


Design Documentation (via InVision Spaces)

Teams document product decisions, research insights, guidelines, and design history within organized spaces tied to specific projects or teams.


Developer Handoff (via Inspect Mode)

Developers use Inspect mode to access specs, measurements, colors, and downloadable assets — based on uploaded or synced design files.


Integrations

InVision connects to tools like Jira, Confluence, Slack, and design tools like Sketch or Photoshop — allowing seamless tracking of feedback, versions, and progress.

Benefits & Advantages

Asynchronous Collaboration

Great for gathering stakeholder input across different departments or locations without needing everyone in the room.


Presentation-Ready Prototype

Smooth, clickable demos with explanations that feel high-end and client-ready.


Documentation Centralization

Teams can house all design-related research, decisions, and history in one accessible place.


No Code Required

Prototypes are created with static images, making it accessible for non-designers to contribute to workflows.


Stakeholder Engagement

Helps bring non-designers into the creative process in a way that’s visual and digestible.

How InVision Is Used in UXR (User Experience Research)

InVision plays a unique and valuable role in making research visible, actionable, and tied directly to design artifacts.

Research-Backed Prototypes

Researchers support design decisions by embedding research insights into annotated prototypes that stakeholders and designers can walk through interactively.


Journey Maps & UX Narratives

InVision is often used to lay out step-by-step screens with user pain points or behavior notes, creating visual narratives that are easy for teams to understand.


Insight Sharing

Researchers document findings inside project spaces or via annotated prototypes — turning qualitative insights into concrete design notes.


Remote Concept Testing

Prototypes hosted in InVision are used in usability studies, A/B tests, or click tests — often via integrations with research platforms.


Centralized Design + Research Hub

InVision Spaces allow researchers to keep video clips, quotes, personas, usability findings, and related design assets in one central location.


Stakeholder Walkthroughs

UXR teams use InVision to build stakeholder-facing walkthroughs that combine visual screens with key insights and questions, helping to align everyone before user testing or feature prioritization.
