1. Setup Navigation

Navigation helps users track their progress in a demo and easily jump between non-sequential steps. Toggle colored step indicators under Appearance.

2. Demo Themes

Toggle your default demo colors and other parameters globally via Demo Themes. Apply across Hotspots, Tooltips, and Modals. Click here to learn more about branding.

3. Auto Play

Auto-play advances your demo to the next step after a specified period of inactivity. You can add a custom delay or use the auto-delay, where the delay is adjusted automatically based on the amount of text or speech in the step. Additionally, toggle on ‘loop demo automatically’ - perfect for keeping eyes on your screen at the next conference booth.

⏱️ Step level Auto Play

Automatically advance to the next step after a set time delay. You can choose between Auto — where the delay is adjusted based on the text or speech length of the step — or set a Custom time of your choice.

4. Private demo access - Available for the Enterprise plan

This is an enterprise security feature. When allowed, only authenticated users in your Storylane account can access this demo.

5. Frame Color

Toggle between Light Frame and Dark Frame, or No Frame under Demo Settings (Screenshot demos only) To remove the demo frame or "header", toggle frame color "off".

6. Display Title

Adding a Display Title distinguishes what your viewers see vs the file name in Storylane.

7. Small Screen Warning

Alerts your viewers when they are visiting your demo on a screen that is smaller than recommended. You can specify the width at which the warning appears (default is 800px).

8. Autoscale demos

• Toggle on to automatically adjusts your demo to match the original capture size
• Demos viewed only within your organisation, SSO, security, authentification
• Toggle on so only authenticated users in your Storylane account can access this demo.

9. Background Music

Create a more immersive experience by adding background music to your demo. Choose from a curated library of tracks or upload your own, and adjust the volume to the right level.

To set it up, go to Demo Settings → Background Music, toggle it on, and select a track from the dropdown — options include Spring Energy, Digital Horizon, Tech Ambient, Lo-fi Focus, and more. You can also Upload your own audio file.

10. Defaults

Set workspace-level defaults so every new demo starts pre-configured with your preferred setup — no need to repeat the same settings on each demo individually.

To access this, go to Settings → Workspace → Defaults. From here, you can configure:

• First & Last Steps — set a default opening popup and closing CTA that anchors every new demo
• Default Interaction Guides — apply a consistent guide style across all new demos
• Autoplay — control whether new demos auto-advance by default, and at what pace
• Secure Link — require viewers to authenticate before accessing your demos by default

You can now set up your background music under Defaults inside your Settings tab, so you don't have to configure it separately for each demo.

11. Share Page Background

Customize the backdrop shown around your demo on the share page. Choose from preset colors and gradients, or create your own custom gradient using the color picker to match your brand.

Find it in Demo Settings → Appearance → Share Page Background
