Embed prototypes whiteboards to share interactive designs in context. An embedded prototype does not have its own record ID — it lives within the whiteboard where it was inserted. To save a prototype as a standalone record with version history and linked records instead, see Create a prototype.

Embed a prototype in a whiteboard
Add a prototype directly to a whiteboard to bring concepts, discussion, and decisions together in one place.

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.
