Previous state: There was no clear way to let a user watch a video or complete an alternative task while walking through a guide before immediately moving onto the next guided step.

Improved state: We have added a new action to the guide creator and editor that allows you to pause the flow of a guide so the user can do something else (i.e. watch a video, fill out a form) before hitting next to continue.

• Action added: Insert Wait & Resume Step

• How to add this step to your guide:

  • Option 1 - During recording:

    1. Right click (or two finger tap).

    2. Click Sidekick Guide Recorder.

    3. Click Insert Wait and Resume Step.

    4. If you want to give it a specific name and description (i.e. complete the form, watch the video), remember to edit the guide afterwards. Otherwise, it will remain at the default of “Resume when ready”.

  • Option 2 - After recording (edit):

    1. Go to your guide and click Edit.

    2. Go to the desired location for adding a ‘wait & resume’ step and click Add Step.

    3. Click Insert Wait and Resume Step.

    4. Give this new step a title and description or leave it as the default of “Resume when ready”.
