A step-by-step guided sequence that leads a user through a task inside an application, one action at a time.

Digital adoption

Walkthrough explained

A walkthrough (also called a guided flow or interactive guide) highlights one element at a time and tells the user what to do next, waiting for them to complete each step before moving on. It is the core building block of most digital adoption platforms.

Good walkthroughs are short, focused on one task and triggered at the right moment. Long walkthroughs that try to explain everything tend to be skipped.

Example: A five-step walkthrough guides a new HR manager through approving a time-off request.
