The first step in making a Storylane Interactive Demo is building the demo. You can build demos in two ways:

  1. Screenshot Demo – Captures each click as a screenshot.

  2. HTML Demo – Records the HTML/CSS for deeper customization.

Both methods are available via the Storylane Chrome Extension. While manual capture, Storylane Desktop App, and Figma Plugin support only Screenshot Capture.


What is a Screenshot Demo?

A Screenshot Demo captures each step of your workflow as an image. Every click you make takes a screenshot, allowing you to build a step-by-step guided demo effortlessly.

Best for:

  • Quick, easy-to-create demos.

  • Static workflows with minimal interactivity.

  • Product walkthroughs that don’t require dynamic content.

When to Use Screenshot Capture

You need a simple, static walkthrough.
Your product doesn’t require interactive elements.
You want a fast, AI-assisted guide creation.

📌 Next Steps: Start your first Screenshot Demo with the Storylane Chrome Extension.


What is an HTML Demo?

An HTML Demo captures the actual front end HTML and CSS of your web page instead of static images. This allows for advanced customization, interactive elements, and a smoother viewing experience.

Best for:

  • Interactive product tours.

  • Customizing elements and text post-recording.

  • Providing a realistic, live demo feel.

When to Use HTML Capture

You want an interactive, immersive demo.
Your demo requires text or UI customization post-recording.
You need a scalable, professional-looking walkthrough.

📌 Next Steps: Start your first HTML Demo with the Storylane Chrome Extension.
