SharingRemix a teammate's prototype

On a Team plan, every prototype anyone on your team publishes shows up on your team page at prototo.app/team . Any of them can be remixed: you get your own copy to build on, in a new folder on your Mac.

From Prototo Desktop

Press Team (on the welcome screen, in the title bar, or from the app menu) and your team page opens on prototo.app. Remix from there, then open the new folder in Prototo Desktop with Open project….

In the terminal: two steps

  1. On the Team tab of your account page , find the prototype and press Remix. Copy the command it shows.
  2. In your terminal, go to the folder where you keep your prototypes and paste it:
proto remix https://prototo.app/p/XK92MABCDEFG

Prototo downloads the prototype into a folder named after it and sets it up. Then:

cd checkout-flow && proto start

Want a different folder name? Add it after the link: proto remix <link> my-take.

What a remix is

A remix is a copy, the way “Duplicate” works in Figma. You get the prototype exactly as your teammate last published it, and from then on it’s yours. Changing it never changes theirs, and their next publish never changes yours.

It gets its own link the first time you share it, so your version and the original can live side by side on the team page.

Who can remix what

Anyone on the team can remix any prototype the team has published, while the team’s plan is active. The person who published it can always remix their own.

If you see “Remixable after the next publish” on a prototype, it was published before remix existed. Ask its designer to run proto share once more and it becomes remixable.

Limits

Prototypes over 45 MB, usually because of large videos in assets/, can’t be remixed. The link still publishes and works. The designer sees a note about it when they share.
