In-App Product Tours
How to add in-app product tours with Supademo: contextual walkthroughs launched from your own UI, plus Demo Hubs for always-on self-serve guidance.
An in-app product tour is an interactive walkthrough that runs inside your application, launched from a help button, tooltip, or onboarding checklist at the moment a user needs it. Supademo delivers these without a separate onboarding platform: the same demos you use for sales and support run as in-app tours or sit inside an embeddable Demo Hub widget, and because tours are demos rather than DOM overlays pinned to your UI, they do not break when your front end changes.
How to build it in Supademo
Record one workflow per tour as a guided HTML demo, 5 to 7 steps. A tour should solve one problem, not introduce the whole product.
Add an AI voiceover for the "why," keeping hotspot text to the "what." Close with one CTA that points at the real feature: "Try it now."
Wire it into your product as an in-app tour, triggered from the specific button, empty state, or menu where users need that guidance.
Give users a browsable home for all tours with a Demo Hub: an embeddable widget with searchable categories such as Getting Started, Key Features, and Troubleshooting, so guidance is on demand instead of interruptive.
For launches, add the new feature's tour to a "What's new" Demo Hub category and link it from your announcement banner.
Review analytics monthly: launches, completion, and per-step drop-off per tour, plus hotspot performance to see which steps users hesitate on. Retire tours nobody opens and split tours people abandon midway.
Example: Hundreds of teams run Demo Hubs as an in-app center for self-help, onboarding, and best practices — a launcher in the corner of the product that opens a library of guided demos whenever users need it.

Frequently asked questions
How do I add a product tour inside my app?
Create the walkthrough in Supademo, then add it to your application using the in-app tour embed, attached to the help button or UI element where it should launch. One integration; after that, non-technical teammates publish and update tours from Supademo without further engineering work.
What is a Demo Hub?
A Demo Hub is an embeddable widget that gives users searchable, on-demand access to your demos inside your application or website, organized into categories you define. Unlike forced tour pop-ups that interrupt work, a Demo Hub waits until the user asks for help, then offers every walkthrough in one place. See Hubs.
Do in-app tours break when my UI changes?
Supademo tours are self-contained demos, not selectors pinned to your live DOM, so a UI change never leaves a tooltip pointing at nothing. When the workflow itself changes, update the master demo once and every place it runs, in-app tour, Demo Hub, and help center embed, serves the new version.
