A mobile design is judged in your hand. With the QR code you open the project on your phone and try it like an app: you tap, move between screens, and go back.
Open it on your phone
- On the canvas, click Try it on your phone, at the top next to the views. It shows up if the project has mobile screens.
- Leave The screen selected and point your phone's camera at the code. (The other code, Bitácora on your phone, opens the project in Bitácora Lite: see Bitácora on mobile.)
- Tap the link that appears. If it asks, sign in with your Bitácora account.
The screen you had active opens, full screen. If you'd rather send yourself the link, click Copy under the code.
Get around on your phone
- The prototype's buttons take you to their screens, and the back button returns to the previous one.
- Three taps in a row open the list of screens.
- Pinch out to see Back and the bar to dictate or write a note about that screen.
- If the screen changes on the canvas, it updates on its own on your phone.
Desktop screens
To try a desktop or tablet screen full window, use Try design: see Try a design full window.
Try it as your client
Portal, at the top right, opens the project in another tab just as your client will see it in their portal: with the list of screens, the comments, and developer mode. It shows up with the Can run with AI role.
