Guide — interactive, step-by-step walkthroughs pinned to real UI elements

A lot of operational mistakes don’t happen because people are careless — they happen because the UI changed, a workflow is unfamiliar, or a new teammate is doing it for the first time.

Traditional documentation doesn’t help much in that moment. You read a page in a wiki, go back to the tool, and then:

  • the button is in a different place,
  • the label changed,
  • the next step isn’t obvious,
  • you’re not sure what exactly to click.

That gap — between “reading” and “doing” — is where time is wasted and errors happen.

Guides in Maverto close that gap.

A Guide is an interactive walkthrough that’s attached to a specific page. When a user opens it, Maverto highlights the exact UI elements on the screen and shows a short tip for each step, with Next / Back navigation.

When to use a Guide

Use a Guide when you need people to complete a workflow correctly on the first try, especially during rollouts:

  • launching a new feature in an internal tool
  • moving a button or changing a flow (e.g., refunds, payments, approvals)
  • onboarding new teammates into complex admin screens
  • preventing errors in high-risk steps (“don’t click this unless…”)

What it changes in practice

  • New hires learn by doing, without leaving the page
  • Feature adoption happens faster after releases
  • Fewer mistakes and less back-and-forth
  • Experts stop becoming bottlenecks for routine questions

Guides are the fastest way to turn “Here’s how it works” into “Just follow this — step by step — right on the screen.”
