Live preview allows viewers to follow ongoing changes made to a prototype in real time. Live preview is available for Plus and Unlimited Plans. To use this feature, tick the checkbox Enable live preview in the Share preview link window. All your viewers will see changes that you apply to the prototype in the real time. Click here to learn how the viewers see the changes.
The preview of your project will look the same in all modern browsers. The editing mode is optimized to work with Firefox 3.x, 10.x Opera, Safari 3 or newer, and Chrome. You can use JustProto with Internet Explorer, however JustProto's features can be limited. We recommend using JustProto in Firefox 3.5+ in order to get the best results.
We recommend switching to Firefox if you use any other browser. It should make your work much more efficient. If you already use Firefox - make sure that plug-ins such as Firebug or AdBlock etc. are inactive. They analyze most elements on the page while loading, which significantly slows down the work. If you think that your work is still to slow – try checking your Internet connection. JustProto is a webbased application and its slow working may indicate there's something wrong with your Internet access.
Yes, this option is available for Plus and Unlimited users. Just add the following to your DNSes: CNAME chosen-subdomain justproto.com e.g.
The number of people allowed to edit the prototype depends on your chosen plan: The Standard Plan – you can work with 3 collaborators. The Plus Plan – you can work with 12 collaborators. The Unlimited Plan - you can work with 25 collaborators. If your business needs are more complex and you have other, more specific requirements, please contact us at support@justproto.com - we will create a plan dedicated especially to you. JustProto allows you to show your prototype to an unlimited number of people.
No, JustProto was designed to operate from anywhere in the world using web browser. Hence, at least for the time being, an offline version is not available.

No, JustProto is a tool for creating interactive prototypes, not for creating web pages. Therefore, the code is not suitable for use on websites. Although it guarantees the same look of various elements in different browsers, it does not fit the basic SEO requirements which are so important in designing websites.

So, if you make your password strong enough (a minimum of 6 characters, we advise using numbers, special characters and different sizes of letters) and if it doesn’t fall into the wrong hands, your projects are safe. Furthermore, all JustProto Plus and Unlimited plans use SSL security to keep your projects safe.

Absolutely – collaboration and team work is the essence of JustProto. Select Project -> Manage collaborators from the top menu.
You can share your prototype with anyone, by providing a preview link. The viewer doesn’t need to have a JustProto account, but cannot make any changes in the project. Please note, that you can share the preview link with an unlimited number of people. Collaboration allows other users to edit the project. Having a JustProto account is required in this case. The number of collaborators is limited and depends on the chosen JustProto plan.
To use one of your previously created components, open the page where you want to use it, and simply drag&drop it to your workspace (just like you do it with the elements). All changes that you apply on components are automaticly shown on all your pages where you used it.
In the elements box located in the right sidebar find the element called Image element and just drag and drop it in a place where you want to add it.
A File Manager window will appear, where you can choose an image. If you want to upload an image from your computer - use the Add button in the top bar.
Click here to learn more about how to add images.
Yes:) In the elements box located in the right sidebar find the element called Video and just drag and drop it in a place where you want to add it. You can also simply click on the icon – the video will be added in the top left corner of the workbench. Now, enter the direct link to the video clip, which must be hosted on one of the following services: Youtube, Vimeo, MetaCafe, Yahoo Video, DailyMotion.
Click on the element. The Properties tab is located in the Elements List box on the right side of rhe screen. Depending on the type of element, you can define size, transparency, font properties, background properties, link to another page, etc.
Almost every element may be linked to other pages of your prototype. All you have to do is to go to the Properties tab and define the destination page in Events -> After clicking go to... Please note that you can choose any page of your prototype from the list as well as enter an external address in the enter url field.
Of course. Click on the element you want to copy, and use the Copy (Cut for moving) icon placed in the top bar of the workbench. Then, go to the page where you want to paste the element and click Paste. What's more, you can use JustProto basic keyboard shortcuts, common for most editors and graphics programs:
Yes, click on any blank spot in the workbench and drag the mouse cursor above the elements you want to select, keeping the mouse button pressed. If you have selected too many elements - simply hold the Ctrl key and click on the unwanted items. Similarly, if you want to add more elements to your selection, you can hold the Ctrl key and click on the chosen ones.
Of course - that’s a great idea! The easiest way to do this is to insert it as an image to a component. Then just use that component on any page you need to. Tip: If you want to hide part of the graphics (layout), you can cover it with the Box element. Stretch it over the unwanted part and match the background color in the Properties tab. Easy, isn't it? We hope you’ll find it useful ;)
You can, for example, drag page A and drop it on page B. You will see that page A will become a subpage of page B, therefore, page B will become a parent for page A. In a similar way, you can create a multi-level structure. Please follow the backlights – they will help you to drop the page precisely in the right place. Yes, we do realize it may seem confusing. To illustrate it better, we have prepared a short video:
Yes, you can use the keyboard shortcuts in Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Opera and Chrome. Make sure to use the newest version of your web browser. And here they are:
Yes, for each element where the font is used (links, labels, comments, notes, form elements, etc.), you can change the font parameters. Click on the element and choose the appropriate parameters in the Font section in the Properties tab. Please note that the Text element is an exception. In order to keep text formatting easy, you can define the font parameters directly from the visual editor. There's no way to use fonts already installed on the computer.
You will find this option in the project management screen - you can get there by choosing Manage projects from the Project item in the top menu or click the Open Project button on the welcome screen. To remove the project, select it in the manager and click Remove. You will be asked for confirmation. Remember that a deleted project can’t be restored.
If you are a Plus or Unlimited account user, you can work on the same prototype at the same time with other people. This means that if two people are signed in on two different computers, editing the same project, they will see each other's changes. For example, if you are on the page where your workmate is adding a video, you'll see it immediately on your computer. What's more, a person who is not logged into your JustProto account, but has a preview link with the option Live Preview enabled, can also follow the progress of your work. Click here to learn more about the Live Preview feature.
Yes, go to the project management screen: click Manage projects from the Project item in the top menu or click the Open Project button on the welcome screen. Then choose the project to duplicate and click the Copy Project button. The duplicate will appear with the name: Copy of project-name-which-was-copied.
You can move many elements at once – just make sure you’ve added all of them to your selection. To add multiple elements to your selection, click on any blank spot in the workbench and drag the mouse cursor above the elements you want to select, keeping the mouse button pressed. Now you can move your elements to any place, as well as copy and cut them. Changing the size of many elements at once is currently not possible. You need to change the size of each element individually.
Yes. You can change the size of each window (by clicking in the bottom right corner of the window) and move them around the screen (by clicking on the title bar). You can also use one of the predefined window layouts. Find them by clicking Window layout in the top menu.
Yes. Just turn off the option Snap to Grid, located in the top bar of the workbench.
Find the Project box located on the left side of the Workspace. The tree of the project inside the box includes a branch called Components. Click Add – you will be asked to enter the name and choose the component option. Now compose your component with the elements from the list.
Or: I want to group the radio buttons so later on the preview I would be able to tick more than one. Is it possible? Firstly you need to drag&drop radio buttons to the workbench. Their default group is 1. To change that, select the radiobutton and in the properties tab (on the right side of the screen) change its group. It doesn't matter how many radio buttons are in each group (the number may vary) but every radio button in each group must have a group number in its properties.
It is really simple: select element you want to fade to grey and then right click on it and select the Fade To Gray option.
It's very simple: jut select elements you want to group, right click on them and select grouping option. As simple as that. If you want to ungroup elements do the same and choose ungroup.
Yes, it's very simple. Just set up border radius you want in the properties tab on the right.
Select the element you want to set up shadow for. On the properties tab on the right tick the "Enable" box and set up shadow's size.
1. Put A BOX in the workbench and make the box A SQUARE (properties tab on the right) 2. Set up BORDER RADIUS to 100
Use the Upload button placed in the top left corner of the File Manager. Then simply select the file you want to add. It will appear in the active directory of the File Manager.
Yes, you can organize them into folders in the same way you do it on your computer. To create a folder, click on the Create folder icon in the top toolbar. To upload files to a specific folder, make sure you click on it first.
Unfortunately not. We’ve prepared a feature that allows you to do such basic operations as resizing and cropping images, however, it is still in the testing phase. Please follow us on Twitter, Facebook or follow our blog to be up-to-date with the release date.
Click on the image in the File Manager, and look at the status bar at the bottom of the file manager window. You will find basic information about the file like the MIME type, date added and size. To see more details, switch to list view (the List icon in the top toolbar).
