What's New

Import already let you pull an entire tutorial into another one, but you then had to delete the steps you didn't need. Now you can choose exactly which steps to bring in, and import images from your computer as steps, for anything iorad can't capture directly.

1. If you have a few steps that are the same... in other words, the screens remain the same for a handful of processes. Or, possibly you just need to upload an image or screenshot for other various reasons, the "Import" feature could be beneficial.

2. Hover over a Tutorial that you would like to import an existing tutorial into and click edit.

3. Click Step navigator

4. Click the Step you wish to import the new steps after.
For this example, Click on the Final step.

5. Click Advanced

6. Click Import

7. You can either import from an existing tutorial or you can upload an image.

8. To import an entire tutorial or specific steps from an existing tutorial, Click on Tutorial.

9. Type in the Quick find to bring up the tutorial you'd like to import.

Please note: You're only able to import tutorials that were created with the same tool.
I.e. Extension tutorial into Extension tutorial OR Desktop tutorial into Desktop Tutorial.

10. Click the tutorial title that you wish to import.

In this example, click Gmail - How to use Free Html Editor Extension

11. You can choose to import the entire tutorial and leave "All Steps" checked or deselect the steps you don't wish to pull in.

12. Click to deselect the steps you don't wish to include.

13. Click Import once your step selection has been made.

14. Click Yes to Confirm

15. Your Tutorial has been imported

16. Now, let's look at how to import an image from our computer.

Click on Import

17. Click on Image to Browse your computer.

If possible, try to upload an image with similar size to existing step images. This will create a more seamless experience for your learners.

18. Choose the image you'd like to import.

Note the Dimensions of the image.

19. Your image has been imported. You can move your highlight box, choose your action like Info, Click, etc and then enter a step description. Just like normal.

Note:Imported images have "Transparent" option enabled, this hides the box from learners.

Where to find it

In the editor, open the Step navigator, select the step you want to import after, then click Advanced and choose Import. Pick Tutorial to import steps or Image to upload from your computer.

What you can do

  • Choose specific steps
    Select a tutorial, then deselect any steps you don't want before importing. Leave "All Steps" checked to bring in everything.
  • Import images as steps
    Upload a screenshot of a popup menu or desktop window, or a cover slide designed in Canva, and use it like any other step.

Good to know

  • You can only import tutorials created with the same tool, for example Extension into Extension, or Desktop into Desktop.
  • For a seamless experience, upload images close in size to your existing step screenshots.
  • Imported images have the Transparent option turned on, so the highlight box is hidden from learners. You can still add an action and a step description as usual.
