Overview

The Screenshot Section in Free-floating Flows is designed to give a clear visual reference of the exact screen a Flow step is meant to point at for your users. For more information on Free-floating Flows and how to create them, see Free-floating steps in Flows.

Note:

The Screenshot Section in Free-floating Flows is Beta. Contact support@whatfix.com for more information.

The screenshot becomes your most valuable diagnostic tool to help you with:

  • Identifying a failure: Instantly see if the UI element is missing, has changed, or if the user is on the wrong screen.

  • Reducing the troubleshooting time: You have the visual proof right next to your Flow step, helping you move faster on the UI. This helps you quickly rule out: “Is the user on the wrong page?” or “Is the UI not loading for them?”
