Alternates

Alternates (also sometimes referred to as versions or branches) allow you to create variations on a single wireframe design without adding more wireframes to your project.

Creating alternates can be useful during the early design phase when exploring concepts, and in later stages for reviewers to add their feedback. (Comments are also helpful for this).

Some possible reasons for using alternates:

• You want to create only one wireframe per screen but have several ideas about each one.
• You want suggestions for design improvements but don't want other people changing your wireframes.
• You want to send your project around for feedback and track each person's feedback individually.
• You want to try out new design ideas without including them in the wireframes for the current release.
