We’ve put together a list of features that can help you and your team while you’re working and collaborating!
Invite a user to a project
You can invite users to a project from the project Dashboard. Click on the “Share” button on the right panel, enter the email address associated with their Zeplin account, and click on the “+” button:
💁♀️ If you have a team workspace and invite a user to a project, who is not a member of that workspace, you'll also need to select a role for that user. You can learn more about workspace roles here: Assigning roles to workspace members
Once you invite a user to your project, they can publish designs, toggle between versions, add comments, view specs, code snippets, download assets, etc. as their roles allow.

Invite a user to a styleguide
You can invite users to a global styleguide from the right panel on the “About” page. Click on the “Share” button, enter the email address associated with their Zeplin account, and click on the “+” button:

You can also learn more about Global Styleguides here.
Share App URIs
On both the desktop and Web apps, you can copy Web links that link to a project, styleguide, screen, or component from their right panel. These share links open the target page on the Web app.
You can also get Web and app URls of your projects and styleguides by right-clicking on their thumbnails under your workspace.
This works similarly for screens under the project Dashboard and components under the styleguide — you can right-click on a screen card or component to get the URls.
You can learn more here: Sharing app URIs
Annotations & Comments
With Annotations, you can provide instructions that will remain pinned to a screen or a component—you can document how your designs should behave with descriptive GIFs/videos, reference product requirements, and even share API endpoints.
We collected some helpful articles about Annotations here.
With Comments, you and your teammates are welcome to have a two-way conversation! You can use Comments to ask your teammates questions or share your feedback on a design.
You can add visual elements like images, and GIFs, use Markdown-formatted texts to your comments, organize them using colors, and filter by their status or colors. By resolving the comments on your screen, you can eventually close them. We explained all the details here.
Integrations
Zeplin has many integrations that will help you to facilitate communication within your team; Slack, Microsoft Teams, Jira, Trello, Zapier, Storybook, and Visual Studio Code. You can learn details and how to set up here: Workflow integrations with Zeplin
