### 👉 Guide options
Here’s a list of guides that Storylane supports, along with details on how each one works. Note that you can only add one guide per step.
| Guide options | How it works | Examples |
| --------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
Hotspots
| Pulsating spots designed to draw attention to key parts of your demo. Hotspots may be accompanied by text as well. |
Clari - Customer Example
|
|
Tooltips
| Combine tooltips with backdrops to guide users through complex work flows. |
Gong - Customer Example
|
|
Text modal
| Text modals used to introduce your demos or summarize key points. Consider using them at the start or end of your demo. |
Outreach - Customer Example
|
|
Media modal
| Media modals showcase various media formats and text, including images, videos, and GIFs. It's a great option to improve visual aesthetic |
Cascade - Customer Example

|
Lead form
| Use lead forms to capture leads at strategic points in your demo. You can either use Storylane's own form or [embed custom forms](https://docs.storylane.io/analytics-and-performance/capture-leads) (**Hubspot**, **Marketo**, or **Pardot**) or capture leads through [demo URL params](https://docs.storylane.io/analytics-and-performance/capture-leads). |

### 👉 Adding guided steps
Adding guided steps is simple.
By default, when you add a new step to a screenshot demo, a hotspot is automatically created for you. From there, you can customize the guide in a couple of ways:
* Hover over the existing guide and click “Edit Guide” to make changes directly.
* Use the “Guides” button in the top header (always accessible) to view and manage all guides in your demo.
This gives you flexibility to quickly adjust copy, positioning, and behavior at any time.
### 👉 Editing guided steps
Guides can be customized to match your needs. Hover on the guide and click on the "Edit guide" icon next to it for the following options:
| Edit Guide | Description | Reference |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Content | Edit in-guide content by selecting the placeholder text |
|
| CTAs | Toggle and customize primary and secondary CTAs |
|
| Position | Configure the arrow positions for hotspots and tooltips |
|
| Config | Toggle step number visibility, previous step button, arrow alignment, and hide text on mouse out |
|
| Autoplay | Automatically advance to the next step after the set time delay. Choose between auto, or a custom time |
|

Pro tip: Need to copy a step to another chapter? Just select the step you would like to copy from the sidebar and use **Cmd/Ctrl C + Cmd/Ctrl V** to copy and paste into another demo's timeline. You could also do the same by right clicking or select three dots against a step. To duplicate a step, select the step and use **Cmd/Ctrl D**.

### 👉 Videos and Voiceovers
#### 🎥 Adding video clips
We support a couple of ways to add video clips:
1. Under Video Avatar in the editor header you can either -
1. Generate using your own Avatar (or choose from our templates!)
2. Record a live video from your device
2. Upload mp4 files from device
3. Add video clips from the current & other demos
4. Capture new video clips from the extension

### How to add voiceovers
1. **Find the step**: Choose the step in your demo where you want to add a voiceover.
2. **Select the microphone Icon**: from the left-side panel, select the microphone icon to open the voiceover options.
3. **Choose Your Method**:
* **AI-Generated Voiceover**: Leverage AI to create a synthetic voiceover in over 25 languages with 65+ voice options. Simply type your text, select the language and voice, and the AI will generate the voiceover for you.
* **Record Your Voice**: Press record to capture your voice directly, providing a natural and personalized explanation.
* **Upload a Pre-recorded Voiceover**: If you have an existing voice recording, you can upload it from your device and integrate it into the demo step.
4. **Save**: Once finished, save the voiceover, and it will automatically play during that demo step.
