With just a few days remaining until our March Launch Week, here are a suite of awesome usability features designed specifically for our power users. But before diving in, here's a short preview of what's included:

Otherwise, let's dive into the latest updates:

1. Record new steps to an existing Supademo

Previously, there's no way to add new steps to an existing Supademo after recording – other than copy/pasting of steps or uploading content manually.

Record more steps from an HTML or Screenshot/Video Supademo

With this update, creators can record additional steps of any length directly from the demo editor and add it into the appropriate position in their Supademo.

This helps Supademo creators save time when product interfaces change or when there is a need to show additional features in an existing Supademo.

TLDR: Record and add steps to an existing SupademoBenefits: Save time on maintenance and updates for a Supademo

2. Enhanced Supademo Editor

Freeform slide selector

You can now select multiple slides in the Supademo editor in freeform, non-sequential format. This usability improvement is effective for cases where you need to select multiple slides (i.e. 1-3, 6, 9-10) for copying, pasting, or deleting.

Select multiple slides by using the built-in checkbox or by using command+click in the demo editor for both HTML and screenshot/video-based Supademos.

Hotspot out of bounds warning

This feature is especially helpful for instances where you may unknowingly configure a large area hotspot that forces the tooltip to overflow beyond the Supademo's viewable canvas.

The Supademo editor will now automatically detect when this happens and will apply a warning to the appropriate hotspot tooltip to resolve this issue proactively.

3. Autoplay for HTML Supademos

HTML-based Supademos (beta) now support autoplay functionality – meaning you can transform high-fidelity sandbox demos into video-like experiences.

4. Transform Supademo into a Docs Page

A fun easter egg for you – using this free tool, you can transform any Supademo link into a copiable knowledge base page you can use as a draft!

Simply enter your Supademo URL or ID to start transforming your demo content into an editable docs page in seconds. Try it out here for free yourself or check out the interactive tutorial:

As always, if you'd like to request features or share your ideas – we'd love to hear from you. Drop a feature request through our public board or reach out through the in-app chat through the Supademo dashboard.

Otherwise, we're looking forward to launching some big features next week for Launch Week – so please stay tuned on our LinkedIn or Email.

A core issue we identified was that the team was often spending a lot of time creating custom demos, guides, or walkthroughs for unqualified prospects.

Ultimately, this led to a lot of wasted time, a huge amount of burden and effort for already busy staff, and a diffusion of focus on targeting the right prospects.

Casey O'Brien
Solutions Consulting Director

Prior to Supademo, we were spending countless hours putting together demos and videos across discovery, qualification, training, or simply answering common questions. Creating these could take upwards of 8-10 hours, which is both painful for us, but also less engaging for prospects.

One of my pain points was how time-consuming it was to create product demos for both demonstrations and trade shows manually. The ability to create a Supademo in minutes and the ability to showcase these at conferences has saved us an incredible amount of time!
