Create Engaging Tutorials in a Snap with Snapguide

You can take as many photos or videos as you wish. After you have all of the steps added, you can easily reorder them by simply dragging and dropping them into the proper sequence. You can add captions to your photos or videos, and you can delete any photos or videos that didn’t turn out the way you wanted.

Once the steps are complete, you can assign the cover photo image that users will see when they’re exploring Snapguide or searching for your tutorial, and then tap Publish. Voila! Your how-to guide is live.

While Snapguide is a great tool that you can use to create stunning step-by-step guides for your users, there is one caveat to keep in mind. The tutorials you create with Snapguide are public—they can be accessed and viewed by anyone from the Snapguide site or the Snapguide app.

It would be nice if Snapguide provided some controls to let you choose who can see your guides. Snapguide could also use a better search function—or any search function. You can follow other users , and you can explore the available guides, but there is no function on the site or the app to let you search by keyword to find guides relevant to what you’re looking for.

Nevertheless, I created my own Snapguide tutorial called . The whole thing took about eight minutes, and it looks pretty snazzy (if I do say so myself). It can be accessed and viewed , or the Snapguide site. Imagine what you could do with a little time and effort.
