Uploading a prototoype to the Cloud

Prototypes are uploaded to projects in Antetype Cloud via the Antetype macOS app.

To upload, choose Export > Upload to Cloud from the File menu. The upload dialog in shows all companies where you have privileges to upload (Editor privileges).

If you don't see your projects, make sure that you have the correct privileges set in Antetype Cloud. See Sharing for more information.







In the next step select all the screens that you want to include in the exported prototype. By default, all screens are selected.





Upload options

Start screen

You can define the start screen which will be shown when opening the prototype.

Upload message

You can include an upload message that will be shown in the notification emails and the upload history panel.

Prototype options

You can define if specific panels should be opened per default when accessing the prototype i.e.: when you share a specific prototype you can check "Show Specification Inspector" or for a usability test you can hide the toolbar.

Versions

If the prototype already exists in the Cloud, it is indicated on the dialog. A new version of that prototype is uploaded in that case.

Different versions can be accessed via the menu on the Prototype card or from the Upload History Panel in the prototype.





Upload location

Once the prototype is uploaded, the upload location (i.e. project and name) of that prototype is stored. For the next upload, only the screen selection is shown. If you want to change the location, click the Change button on the dialog. If you choose a new location, a new instance will be created on the Cloud. The original Prototype will still be available in the previous location. It is currently not possible to move a prototype. You may instead upload it again by the process described.





View uploaded prototypes

All Prototypes you have access to are shown in the Cloud. To view them, click on the card of the prototype. To view an older version, you can chosse it from the card's menu.



Toolbar





The toolbar provides functions related to the prototype: On the left, you can navigate through the screens with the arrow buttons or choose a screen via the menu. There you can also see meta information like prototype name, upload date and name of the uploader.
