Publishing happens from Figma, with the DASHUND plugin: the prototype is live as soon as it’s sent.

In Figma: the DASHUND plugin

  1. Open your file, then Plugins → search for DASHUND in Figma Community and run it.
  2. Log in: click “Log in to DASHUND”. A page opens in your browser: click “Allow the plugin”. You only need to do this once.
  3. File link: in the Figma file, in Design mode, Share → Copy link, then paste it into the plugin. It starts with https://www.figma.com/design/; the prototype presentation link (…/proto/…) doesn’t work.
  4. Path to publish: choose the flow and, if you have several, the workspace to send it to.
  5. Publish: the plugin creates a named version, sends the screens and puts the prototype live. Keep the window open for a few seconds.
  6. It’s live: “View in DASHUND” opens its results, “Copy DASHUND link” copies the link to send to your testers.

In DASHUND: check the goal screens

DASHUND picked the end-of-path screens as goals. A banner invites you to check them in the prototype’s Settings; you can also test the prototype there in the preview, without your test runs counting. Choose the right measure.
