Guided allows you to create various instructional content formats like interactive Tours, step-by-step Guides, and comprehensive Videos. Playlists offer a powerful way to organize and share these projects, making it easier for users to learn complex topics or follow specific workflows.
You might already be familiar with the different project formats in Guided. Here's a brief overview:
Tours
Interactive format where users navigate through slides or layers using clicks or keyboard arrows, with each step presented as captured images.
Guides
Step-by-step documentation format showcasing images and videos from the recording, with detailed explanations for each step.
Videos
Complete screen recordings with added text animations, zoom, and rotate effects, resulting in polished and visually appealing video presentations.
