By exporting your project, you get:
- A way to share and discuss your mockups.
- A quick specification you can share with your team and further build upon.
Each screen is exported along with all its annotations:
At the moment, available export formats are:
- Microsoft Word document – De-facto standard for corporate collaboration.
- PDF document – You can email a PDF to anyone and be sure they can open it. Disadvantage compared to Word is that an exported PDF is read-only.
- HTML – A folder with pages and images. Advantage of HTML is that links work within HTML export.
- Single-page HTML – Same as HTML, but in a single file, which is more practical for most purposes.
