Explore Argos FAQ for insights on team invites, updating baselines, orphan builds, repository sharing, and app permissions for a seamless integration.

How to invite someone to my Argos team?​

Navigate to your team settings, scroll down to members section, and click on "Invite Link". You can now share the team's link with the individuals you want to invite.

How do I update the screenshot comparison baseline?​

Argos uses approved builds on base branches as the baseline for comparison. To update the baseline, you need to approve the build on the base branch. You can also defined auto-approved branches in project settings.

What is an orphan build?​

An orphan build means Argos doesn't have a prior set of screenshots to compare with this build. It's totally normal for the first builds.
