A better way to organize, share, and present your designs.

We’re thrilled to launch a new feature for Teams called Collections.

As a designer you often present your work to stakeholders, colleagues, and clients to get their feedback. Presenting is a critical part of the design process and helps provide context around an experience. We created Collections to provide a flexible way to organize, share, and present your work.

How it works

By default artboards or layers added to a Collection will auto-update as you commit more changes, but you can disable that behavior if you want to focus on specific versions of them in your presentation.

After adding the necessary artboards, the next step is to publish the Collection, making it visible to all the members of your Team. This will also trigger a notification in Slack (learn more about the Abstract Slack integration).

Collections come with a handy Presentation Mode. This hides the Abstract interface, and allows you to focus on your work. Just click on the play icon to go fullscreen. You can still access comments and annotations from this mode.

If you want to share a Collection, easily generate a link from the share icon in the upper right corner. This link will only be accessible to your teammates with access to the project where the collection lives. If it’s a private project, you’ll need to manage access to share with more people.
