Variables still not working when sharing a prototype with my colleagues

Hello!

I wrote here 10 months ago about my prototype not working when I share them with some colleagues because the variables just don’t work at all. 

 

I tried again today with a new prototype and still have the same issue. It works perfectly fine on my computer, variables are set, used, changed, all good.

But when my colleague opens the prototype on her computer, it’s as if the variables didn’t exist at all. (tried in browser and the desktop app)

This is really a pain when you spend time creating a nice proto that no-one can use…

Has anyone run into this or better yet, found a solution?

 

Thanks!

Hi ​@Guillaume13,

 

I understand you're still experiencing the issue where the "Set Variable" action isn't working when you share prototypes with your colleagues, despite it working perfectly on your own computer.

 

I checked your file from your previous post and tried to replicate the issue, but I wasn't able to.

When I clicked the "Continue" button, the text changed as expected. I tried opening the file link directly and also the prototype link in an incognito window, but the problem didn't reappear.

(We'd also be happy to take a look at your new prototype file if you're able to share it with us.)


Since we can't reproduce the issue on our end, as Toku mentioned in your previous post, it's possible this is an environment-dependent issue on your colleague's end.

To help us narrow this down, please check the following:
