Importing a Sketch prototype – Maze Help

This article walks you through the steps and requirements to import Sketch prototypes into Maze.

In this article:

Before you start

Your Sketch file should contain a Flow and a Start screen. Otherwise, you won’t be able to import it into Maze.
For Sketch to recognize your prototype, ensure that you have defined a starting screen by selecting the Use Artboard as Start Point setting.
We don’t currently support fixed elements in Sketch. Learn more
Hotspot hinting isn’t supported for Sketch prototypes, even if importing a link with hotspots.

To import a Sketch prototype to be tested in Maze:

Define your starting screen: Select the artboard you intend to use as the starting screen, then ensure that Prototype > Use Artboard as Start Point is selected on the menu.
Go to your Sketch Cloud account to see the list of your Sketch prototypes.
Open the Sketch file you want to import.
Click the Settings gear icon at the top right corner of the page, and select Share... from the drop-down. This will open the share settings for your document.
Update your sharing settings: Set the sharing settings to Anyone with the link, and click Done to confirm.
You are now ready to copy your prototype link: Under 'Prototypes', hover over the prototype you want to test, click the More menu (•••), and click Copy link to Prototype with Hotspots.
Open your draft maze, add a prototype block, and click Add prototype. Learn more about prototype testing in Maze
If importing for the first time, you can select Sketch as your default prototyping tool.
Paste your Sketch prototype link. Please review the Before you start section to prevent import errors.
Once the prototype finishes loading, click Import.

You can also add other block types to your test as needed — e.g. to include any follow-up questions.
