Article summary

Whatfix Flows are sequential steps that help users learn an objective or complete a task through a series of step-by-step actions. Flows handhold users through various sequential tasks. Flows can be created as an overlay over your Whatfix Mirror. By creating Flows within the Mirror, you can deliver training to your end users within a secure and monitored environment, ensuring that the live environment remains unaffected.

Use the following steps to create a Flow on the Mirror screen:

  1. Go to the Mirror on which you want to create the Flow, and then launch Whatfix Studio.
