## About the HS2 prototype kit

The HS2 prototype kit enables you to make interactive prototypes that will look like pages on HS2. The prototypes you make are a great way to show ideas to others and for conducting user research.

Visit the <a href="/docs">HS2 prototype kit site</a> to download the latest version and read the documentation.

## Security

If you publish your prototypes online, they must be protected by a <a href="/docs/how-tos/heroku">username and password</a>. This is to prevent members of the public finding prototypes and thinking they are real services.

You must protect user privacy at all times, even when using prototypes. Prototypes made with the kit look like HS2, but do not have the same security provisions. Always make sure you are handling user data appropriately.
