Working with mockups

Mockups are scaled or full-sized images of a design used for design evaluation, promotion or to acquire feedback from other users. You can enhance your project flow by adding mockups to its nodes. You can then switch between viewing the flow with the icons representing the touchpoint type or with the mockups representing the visuals. Mockups are static images and do not vary according to recipient.

Note: Reviewers can view and magnify mockups. They cannot add, delete or save them.
