[ switching ]

Moving from Guideflow to ArcDemo

There's no import from other demo tools, so you re-capture. Most teams start with their three most-viewed demos.

Capture your key flows

Install the Chrome extension (or the macOS recorder) and click through the demos you use most. HTML capture keeps text editable, so you can fix names and numbers afterwards.

Rebuild the story

Add tooltips, chapters and forms in the editor, or ask the editor agent to draft the copy for you.

Swap the embeds

Replace the old embed codes and share links on your site, docs and sequences. Analytics start from the first view.
