One of the more advanced Steps to create. Don't worry, with practice you'll be a pro in no time!

Learners will interact with a guided, step-by-step tutorial that will train (and test) them on how to navigate an app, program, or website.

Want to offer learners an interactive, unguided simulation? Build this Step's Simulation variant instead!

How to Build

To begin:

Create your demo

Launch your demo button
  • SELECT "Launch Demo Editor" 

If you plan to create a Mobile Simulation Demo, select the Mobile Frame icon to activate it:

Mobile Frame Icon

From here, REPEAT as needed!

- Choose your image -

To upload a new image:

Upload new image icon
  • SELECT the cloud with the "up" arrow in the middle of the screen

  • FIND the image you wish to use

  • CHOOSE the image

To use an existing image:

Launch Asset Manager button
  • SELECT "Launch Asset Manager"

  • FIND the image you wish to use

  • HOVER over the image

  • SELECT "USE"

Screen Name text box

Once selected, ENTER a "Screen Name"  to identify the image you're using.

- Create hot spots -

  • DECIDE where your "hot spots" will be (where learners will click)

  • CLICK, HOLD, AND DRAG mouse over the area you want to use

  • ENTER "Guiding Text" (what learners need to do - e.g. "Enter your username")

- Optional stuff -

Demo hot spot size/location settings
  • ADJUST location and size of hot spot to the pixel

Guiding Text hyperlink
Autotext options
  • ENTER "Autotext" if desired (text overlay, will show within hotspot box)

  • CHOOSE "Autotext Font Size" from drop-down menu (if applicable)

  • CHOOSE "Autotext color" if applicable)

  • CHOOSE whether you want to "Force Autotext Background Color" and SELECT a color (if applicable)

Learn More Link Details
  • ENTER "Learn More Link Text" (shown in the page header, something like "Why do I need this?")

  • ENTER "Learn More Description" (the answer to above Link - when Learn More Text Link is selected, header will reveal this text)

  • SELECT "Set Hotspot Order" if you want to change their order (when you have more than one)

Add new stage "+" icon
  • SELECT the "+" sign to add your next stage

Once you're done, SELECT "Finish!"

Final touches

- Exit Summary -

Exit Summary section
  • WRITE an "Exit Summary" that learners will see when the last stage is complete. (E.g. "Great Job! You now know how to deposit checks through our app!")

- Completion Action -

Completion Action section

When you want learners to put what they just learned into practice or simply view the web page/application, you can link to it from here!

To do this:

  • UPLOAD an appropriate image

  • ENTER "Link Text" (such as "Try it for yourself!")

  • ENTER "Link URL" (the web page where the actual program is)

  • ENTER "Action Description" (explain what the learner will be doing in more detail)

Make your demo available to the public!

In addition to all of the above, you can also include any Demo Step you create in a public-facing page!
