Invite Contact
Before a user can participate in your prototyping project, you must invite him. Of course, the user must have a working copy of
ProtoLoop and be a registered user.
To add a user as Contact, go to the menu Communication
- Invite Contact or select 
in the Contacts tab.
This is the Invite Contact screen that displays when you want to invite people.
