Embed prototypes in record descriptions, workspace notes, whiteboards, and other text fields to share interactive designs in context. An embedded prototype does not have its own record ID — it lives inline within the content where it was inserted. To save a prototype as a standalone record with version history and linked records instead, see Create a prototype.
Click any of the following links to skip ahead:
Embed prototypes in Aha! records
Share a prototype with stakeholders by embedding it in a record description or workspace note.
Embed in the context record
If you opened Elle from a record, you can embed the prototype directly in that record.
Click Show to open the prototype.
In the prototype toolbar, click the Save prototype button.
Select Embed in [record ID].
The prototype will display inline in the record for everyone with access to see.
Embed in a different record
To embed a prototype in a record that was not part of the original chat, copy the prototype link and paste it manually.
Click Show to open the prototype.
In the prototype toolbar, click Share this artifact.
Copy the URL.
Navigate to the record where you want to embed the prototype.
-
Paste the link where you want the prototype to appear.
You can also click the + menu on the text editor toolbar, then Embedded content, and paste the link there.
Embed a prototype in a whiteboard
Add a prototype directly to a whiteboard to bring concepts, discussion, and decisions together in one place.
Create the prototype from Elle in your whiteboard.
When the prototype is ready, click Show in the Elle chat to open it.
-
In the prototype toolbar, click the Save prototype button and select Embed in [record ID] to add it to the whiteboard.
You can also click Share this artifact, copy the URL, and paste it directly onto your whiteboard.
Once added, whiteboard users can interact with the prototype on the canvas:
Double-click the prototype to interact with it.
-
Use the prototype toolbar for additional actions:
Click Open in new tab to view the prototype in full-screen mode in a separate tab.
Click Create new version to open Elle and start a new iteration of the prototype.
Click Comment to leave inline whiteboard comments on the prototype.
Click Lock to lock the prototype to the whiteboard. It cannot be moved or edited until it is unlocked.
Use the More options menu to cut, copy, duplicate, save as a custom shape, or arrange the prototype relative to other objects on your whiteboard.
Interact with embedded prototypes
Click and drag an embedded prototype’s borders to resize it.
Click an embedded prototype to adjust it. From the embedded media toolbar:
Toggle between Embed and Link view. If you choose Link, people who click the link will see the prototype in full-screen mode.
Click Create new version to open Elle with the existing prototype as context so you can iterate on the design.
Click Delete to remove the embedded prototype.
Double-click an embedded prototype to interact with it. Anyone with access to the record can experience the prototype and click Create new version to iterate on the design.
