Wixel: Previewing, Downloading, and Sharing Your Project

Before sending your work out into the world, you can check exactly how it looks on desktop and mobile, make changes, and choose the perfect way to distribute your finished designs. Wixel makes it easy to download your designs in the right format or share them online with a link, so you can decide how your work is seen.

Where can I keep track of actions in my project?

When you take certain actions, like downloading assets, the Activity panel opens in your project. It tracks your current and recent activity, and suggests what to do next. For example, you can see which assets are downloading or were added to your connected site's Media Manager.

To open the panel, click or tap the Activity icon

at the top right of your project.

Note: The Activity panel closes after a few minutes if there are no active or recent actions.
