You can now create user tests using your Figma prototype in just a few clicks. Your participants will also have the option to share their browser window or even their entire screen when completing a test.
Preparing your Figma file:
- To get started, you need to get a link to your Figma prototype
- Open your file in Figma and at the top right press the play icon
- Now you should see your Figma prototype
- Click ‘Share’ to bring up the share dialogue
- Ensure that your share link visibility is set to ‘Anyone with the link’ and not ‘Only people invited to this file’
- Press ‘Copy link’
Note: Marvel accepts only links where the visibility is set to ‘Anyone with the link’. The URL should start with `https://figma.com/proto/`.

Note: As of 25 July 2022, Marvel User Testing has been sunsetted on Marvel Free plans. New user tests can no longer be created on Free plans. A new, more feature-rich user-testing tool is now available at Ballpark, the fastest way to capture high-quality feedback on questions, marketing copy, designs and Figma prototypes using tasks and video.
