Story Builder / Story Mode
The Story Builder lets you collect your saved bookmarks and videos into an ordered narrative that you can share with anyone through a single link. Whoever opens that link is guided through your scene one view at a time, so you can walk a client or colleague through a site exactly the way you want them to see it.
Features
Pull together bookmarks and videos you have already created into one story.
Arrange the slides into any order by dragging them into place.
Give every slide its own name and description for context.
Mix still camera views from bookmarks with moving camera videos in the same story.
Share the finished story as a public link that is copied to your clipboard automatically.
Let viewers step through the story with simple next and previous controls.
Opening the Story Builder
The Story Builder lives inside the Bookmarks panel, so you reach it in two steps from the top toolbar. Before you start, make sure you have captured at least one bookmark or created at least one video, since a story is built entirely from those pieces.
Click the "Bookmarks" button in the top toolbar to open the Bookmarks panel at the bottom of the viewer.
Click the "Story" button in the panel header to open the Story Builder on the right side of the viewer.
Naming Your Story
Type a name into the Story Title field near the top of the panel. This title is shown to anyone who opens your story, and it appears on the share button they see when the story first loads, so give it something that describes the site or the walkthrough.
*If the list is empty, you have not created any bookmarks or videos yet. Capture a bookmark or build a video first, then return to the Story Builder.
Arranging and Editing Your Slides
Every item you add drops into the Selected Slides section lower down the panel, numbered in the order it will play. Drag the grip handle on the left side of a slide to move it up or down and change the order. Type into the name field at the top of each slide to label it, and type into the description box below to add a sentence of context that your viewer will read on that slide. Click the trash icon on the right side of a slide to remove it from the story.
Creating and Sharing the Story
When your slides are titled and in the right order, click the green "Create & Share" button at the bottom of the panel. The button stays disabled until you have entered a story title and added at least one slide. The viewer saves your story as a public scene and copies the share link to your clipboard, and a message confirms when it is ready. Paste that link into an email or message to send the story to anyone.
Viewing a Shared Story
When someone opens your link, the scene loads and your story appears as a small button in the bottom right corner showing the story title. Clicking it opens the story panel in the same corner, with the current slide name and description at the top, Previous and Next arrows to move through the slides, and a thumbnail strip showing every view in order with the current one marked.
