Whatfix Mirror is an innovative solution that enables organizations to simulate any web application. The simulations can then be used for various use cases such as training, onboarding, and so on.
End users can interact with the content within a simulated environment. This facilitates user training and task completion as it provides step-by-step guidance in an isolated environment. This eliminates the risk of unwanted errors in the live application.

Whatfix Mirror enables you to add additional screens to an existing Mirror Folder. This caters to situations where you may have identified additional steps within your workflow that require user guidance after the initial mirroring is completed.
If you want to add additional screens, click Add more screens.

- Each Mirror Screen is captured based on a single UI element.
- The selected UI element represents an interactive element in the web application. Clicking it may also trigger navigation or an action within the live web application. This is expected behavior, as the UI element selection process essentially interacts with the live application to define the capture area.
- Based on your requirement, choose to select multiple UI elements as a sequence of screens that are automatically linked in the same sequence as they are captured. Whatfix Mirror then displays the screens in the order of capture. If you want to change the order of the Mirror Screen, see Manually link a Mirror screen.
- Click the Done icon.
