Frustrated trying to design interactive software walkthroughs that drive activation?<\/p>\n

It’s a common experience. But don’t worry\u2014this article will provide some inspiration. We handpicked a few of the best SaaS walkthrough examples and explained what made them great. We also covered best practices to ensure your walkthroughs get high user engagement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What is a software walkthrough?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A software walkthrough is an app onboarding that guides users<\/a> through key features and processes of a software product.<\/p>\n

Usually, specialized walkthrough software<\/a> is used to create tooltips, modals, progress bars, and other UI elements that can help users understand and adopt the product quickly.<\/p>\n

Interactive walkthroughs vs product tours<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Walkthroughs<\/a> are interactive and require users to take action as they learn about features (hence their \u201cinteractive\u201d nature). These in-app guides are best for user onboarding and driving feature discovery.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, product tours<\/a> demonstrate core features one by one without requiring input from the user. Tours are static and often longer than interactive walkthroughs. They are best suited for sales activities and providing new users with a general product orientation.<\/p>\n
