InVision
InVision is a digital product design platform that was the dominant prototyping and collaboration tool for UX teams before Figma's rise. While Figma has significantly displaced it, InVision still operates in many enterprise and agency environments, and InVision DSM (Design System Manager) retains enterprise adoption.
What is InVision?
InVision provided clickable prototypes from static designs, screen flow mapping, collaboration features (commenting, inspect mode for developers), Freehand (a digital whiteboard), and InVision DSM for design system management. InVision Studio attempted to be a full design tool but was ultimately discontinued in favour of Figma's dominance.
Why InVision matters for your career
Many enterprise design teams were built on InVision workflows and maintain legacy prototype libraries on the platform. Understanding InVision helps designers onboard quickly into established design operations. InVision's collaboration and hand-off conventions also translate to understanding design-development workflow principles more broadly.

Frequently asked questions
Is InVision still relevant in 2024?▼
InVision has been losing share rapidly to Figma. For prototyping and collaboration, Figma is the modern standard. InVision DSM and Freehand retain niches in enterprise design operations, but investing in Figma is a better use of learning time for most designers.
What was InVision best at?▼
InVision pioneered clickable prototype sharing with stakeholders for usability testing and design review. Its comment workflow for design feedback was the standard before Figma's native comments became similarly capable.
