Reordering Guides

Overview

It can be useful to reorder guides when editing your template depending on how you want to guide the viewer through a sequence. At times, you may insert a guide and realize you want to add new guides before it, or maybe you want to change the order of a guide step within a section. Luckily, both are possible and you can also reorder guide sections if need be. Guides are always connected to an element on a specific screen so if you're looking to move a guide to another element, you can change the selected element, but only on the same screen. We'll walk you through all the options of reordering, and moving guides below...

How to Re-Order Guides:

To reorder the guides in a section, simple drag and drop each individual guide in the desired area. You can reorder guides within a section but you cannot drag an annotation from one guided section into another. 

FAQs

Why can't I drag a guide step into a different section?

When creating a guided demo, it's very important to be cognizant of the order in which your guides are displayed. When a user clicks the Next button and advances to the next guide, the order of screens needs to make sense to the viewer so they don't get confused. By only reordering guides within it's own section, there is less room for errors and keeps screens organized. If you are unsure of the order of your guides when you start creating your template, you don't need to create multiple sections, which will allow you to reorder guides without constraints.

If I delete a section, will it delete all the guides within it?

Yes, but it will prompt you first to make sure you want to go ahead with your delete action. If you accidentally click delete from the three dots beside a section, you can click "Keep Guide" which will cancel the delete action.

Can I rename a section after I have already added guides to it?

Yes you can! Simply click the same three dots beside the guide section when you hover over it, and click Rename.
