GuideRoll

What is GuideRoll?

GuideRoll, previously known as MotionShot, is a web application designed to simplify the creation and sharing of step-by-step guides and tutorials. It allows users to create guides for various purposes, such as product walkthroughs, internal tool documentation, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and employee onboarding. These guides can be easily shared with customers and employees, reducing support tickets and improving knowledge transfer.

How does GuideRoll work?

GuideRoll operates by allowing users to upload screenshots, add steps, customize annotations, and then publish and embed the guide. Here’s a detailed breakdown:

1. Add Screenshots: Users begin by uploading screenshots that depict the process they want to guide others through. The platform supports drag-and-drop functionality for ease of use.
2. Add Steps: Each screenshot is then annotated with step-by-step instructions. Users can highlight specific areas of the image, add text annotations, and customize colors to draw attention to key elements.
3. Customize: GuideRoll allows for further customization, including adding a title, description, and call-to-action (CTA) details to the guide. This information is visible to the end-users.
4. Publish & Embed: Once the guide is complete, it can be published and shared via a link or embedded directly into a webpage using an iframe.
