InVision
InVision was a design collaboration tool for interactive prototypes and specs, widely adopted by product teams before Figma became the industry standard.
What is InVision?
InVision was founded in 2011 and for much of the following decade was the dominant prototyping and design collaboration platform used by product teams at companies ranging from startups to Fortune 100 enterprises. At its peak it was valued at $1.9 billion and counted over seven million designers as users, offering clickable prototypes, design handoff with Inspect (giving engineers access to specs and assets), Freehand for collaborative whiteboarding, and Studio as a vector design tool. It defined what modern design review workflows looked like before Figma fundamentally changed the competitive landscape.
InVision's place in the design workflow made its status particularly consequential: prototypes shared with stakeholders for feedback, design handoff links sent to engineering teams, and Freehand boards used in design sprints were all time-sensitive activities where downtime directly delayed product decisions. The platform announced in late 2023 that it would be winding down its products by end of 2024, though users continue to access the platform during the transition period, making outages during this sunset phase particularly impactful for teams still dependent on hosted prototypes.
InVision outages typically appear as prototypes failing to load for external stakeholders viewing a shared link, Inspect failing to display layer properties or export assets for engineers, Freehand boards returning blank screens or failing to sync edits between collaborators, and the dashboard timing out when loading project lists. Screen and notification integrations with Slack or Jira may also break during backend degradation, interrupting the review comment notification flow.
Outage.gg tracks InVision service status through community-submitted reports. If your prototypes are not loading or Inspect is down for your engineering team, check the live status page to confirm whether the disruption is platform-wide and get notified when access is restored.
