Question on: Proto.io
[how do we do version control ?](/discussions/27210-how-do-we-do-version-control)

In developing the prototype, we often need to keep track of changes by users and allow users to have their own version of the prototype and when they add a feature we need to merge it. How can we achieve this in proto.io

Hello Marwan - first of all our apologies for getting back to you so late. We never got notified of your message so it got lost. There are currently two ways to achieve version control in Proto.io: 1. You can roll back to any previously saved version, as your Proto.io account keeps one backup for every single version you make. There is an unlimited amount of backups that you can save and roll back to. 2. Using Proto.io's share links. Every time you make changes to your prototypes you can generate new share links that create a snapshot of the current state that your prototype was at when the share link was generated. Hope this helps and apologies once again for the late response!

Question on: Proto.io
[When will the desktop application available? Most of the users waiting for that](/discussions/27191-when-will-the-desktop-application-available-most-of-the-users-waiting-for-that)

Best prototype creation application available in the industry for all use, just go for it. Easy integration with the mobile. Live preview for the prototype. Proto.io is the only online tool to provide the live demo/preview to test the prototype without writing the coding. I was using Proto.io for more than 5 years.

Hello and sorry for the late response, we never received a notification for your question. We have decided that the benefits of keeping Proto.io a Cloud-based web application are superior to developing a desktop app, therefore there are at the current stage no plans for such an app to be launched in the foreseeable future. However, we want to thank you for your trust in our product for 5 years and we appreciate receiving your feedback!
