# Step by Step

### What is the Step-by-Step Guide?

The Step-by-Step Guide converts your interactive Arcade into a static, scroll-through walkthrough. Each step becomes an image that displays your hotspot title and text as a header. This format is ideal for sharing product walkthroughs in wikis, pitch decks, documentation, or presentations where interactivity isn’t required.

### How do I create a Step-by-Step Guide?

To create a Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Open your Arcade in **Edit** or **Preview** mode.
2. Click the **Share** button in the top-right corner.
3. Select **Step-by-Step Guide** from the list of share options.
4. A preview window will open showing your Arcade as a series of images with hotspot text displayed as headers.
5. Review the layout and choose your preferred sharing method.

### How can I share my Step-by-Step Guide?

You can share your Step-by-Step Guide in three ways:

* **Copy link:** Share a preview link that shows your guide in scroll-through format.
* **Copy steps:** Copy all steps (with images and titles) and paste them into a document such as Notion or Google Docs.
* **Download PDF:** Export your guide as a formatted PDF to share externally.\
  Each option can be found under the **Share** menu once the Step-by-Step Guide is generated.

### Can I customize the order or appearance of steps?

Steps follow the same order as your original Arcade flow. To change the order, edit your Arcade’s step sequence and then re-generate the guide. Branding, color themes, and text styles automatically carry over from your Arcade.

### Will updates to my Arcade appear in the Step-by-Step Guide automatically?

No. If you make changes to your Arcade (such as updating steps or text), you’ll need to re-generate or re-export the Step-by-Step Guide for updates to appear.

### Who can view my Step-by-Step Guide?

Anyone with the shared link can view it, similar to a standard Arcade share link.

### Can I embed the Step-by-Step Guide?

Not directly. The Step-by-Step Guide isn’t an embeddable interactive object. However, you can paste the copied steps (text and images) into your own documentation platform to achieve a similar effect.

### Why don’t some of my step titles appear?

Step titles are pulled directly from your hotspot text. If a hotspot doesn’t include text, that step will appear untitled. Add text to your hotspot and re-generate the guide to fix it.

### Why does my PDF look blurry?

Blurry PDFs are usually caused by low-resolution screen captures. To improve quality, try re-recording your Arcade at a larger window size or higher display resolution before exporting.

### What should I do if the Step-by-Step Guide option isn’t visible or doesn't work?

Step-by-step currently does not support video steps, so if your Arcade is only video steps, there will be nothing for our system to create.

### Does the Step-by-Step Guide affect my share limits or analytics?

No. Creating a Step-by-Step Guide doesn’t count toward your share limit and doesn’t generate view analytics at this time.
