How do I create a Walkthrough in the Impact Inline Editor?

When creating walkthrough steps, admins can select from the following step types: hints, pop-ups, and systrays. Hints can be used to direct users to another page in their LMS. Pop-up and systray messages can be used to provide information.

Notes:

  • Walkthrough steps must include a context which triggers the step, such as an action or navigating to a page.
  • Buttons can be added to allow users to navigate between steps or close the walkthrough.
  • The  Walkthroughs feature preview is in active development.
