Creating a Screen Walkthrough Guidde
Select Screen Walkthrough from the template menu when you start a new guidde. Every interaction step in the guidde will render with an animated cursor and click effect instead of the classic overlay/spotlight/arrow/callout elements.
Note: Cursor Effects are only available for guiddes created with the Screen Walkthrough template. You can't add Cursor Effects to guiddes created with other templates.
Cursor Effects in the Interactions Section
Guiddes created from Screen Walkthrough show a Cursor Effects section in the Interactions menu of the editor's side panel. From here you can set:
Cursor shape - Arrow, Hand, or Marker
Cursor style - Six options are available under each category.
Styles come in yellow, black, and white variants, so you can pick one that looks best with your screen.
Use a different cursor for interactions - toggle on to set another shape/style just for click interactions.
Click effect - None, Circle, or Ripple, played briefly at each click point
Set as Default
Toggle Set as default in the Cursor Effects panel to save your current configuration as your own personal default. It applies to guiddes you create afterward, and it overrides your org's Brand Kit default. Turning it off reverts your future guiddes to the org default - it doesn't change the guidde you're currently editing.
Current Limitations
Cursor color can’t be customized. Choose from the available cursor styles, which come in yellow, black, and white variants.
The cursor’s position and path are generated from your recording and cannot be manually adjusted afterward.
The cursor can’t be hidden on individual steps. Setting Click effect to None turns off the click animation only; the cursor remains.
Cursor movement can’t currently be added to a step that doesn’t have one.
If the cursor appears in the wrong position or something doesn’t look right, contact our support team and include a link to your guidde so we can investigate. Have an idea for a cursor feature you’d like to see? We’d love to hear your feedback!
