This article discussed the Prototype test block in legacy studies, which are only available to some customers that joined before August 2023. We've migrated most of the functionality into our newer, AI-powered studies. For more details on how to create a study using our new AI-powered study builder, see this section of our help center.
Setting up a Prototype usability test
First you'll need to have created a new study. For information on how to do that head over to head over to our guide.
Next, have a think about how you would like to structure your test. Check our prototype templates if you're looking for inspiration.
Adding a prototype block
When creating a study, you can click + New Block and then select Prototype test. This should create a block in your study that looks like this:
Introduce your task
Next, introduce the task that you'd like your participants to complete. You have the Title, Body and Callout fields to do this. You the preview on the right of the screen to see what this will look like.
Set recording settings
Wondering supporting screen and audio recording of prototype tasks on Desktop devices.
Note: Recording is only available on secure websites (with https). If a prototype test is triggered on an insecure website then no recording will be triggered but the participant will still see the prototype and be able to complete the study.
Link to your prototype

Figma
InVision
Miro
Adobe XD
Axure
