Your First Walkthrough

1. Create a New Project

From the dashboard, click + New Walkthrough. You'll land in the editor with an empty project.

2. Upload Screenshots

Take screenshots of the app or process you want to walk users through. You can:

  • •Click + Add in the Screens panel to select files
  • •Drag and drop images directly onto the editor canvas

Screenshots can be PNG, JPG, WebP, or GIF. The editor accepts multiple files at once — they'll be added as separate screens in order.

3. Arrange Your Screens

Screens appear in the left panel. Drag them to reorder, or use the arrow buttons. Each screen represents one step in your walkthrough.

4. Add Hotspots

Select a screen, then click + Add in the Hotspots section of the properties panel. A hotspot will appear on the canvas — drag it to position it over the UI element you want to highlight, and use the corner handles to resize.

5. Configure Tooltips

With a hotspot selected, the properties panel shows its settings:

  • •Label — the tooltip header (shown in uppercase)
  • •Description — the tooltip body text (supports bold and italic)
  • •Type — Tooltip (show info), Navigate + Tooltip (show info then advance), or Direct Navigate (click to advance)

6. Preview

Click the Preview button in the top bar to see exactly how your walkthrough will look to end users. The preview starts on the screen you're currently editing.

7. Export

Click Export to generate a self-contained HTML file. You can:

  • •Copy HTML to paste into a code block (Articulate Rise, LMS, CMS)
  • •Download HTML to save the file for uploading or iframe embedding
