Normally when a new application is released there is this guided tour "clicked here to do this", "clicking here does this" if the new user wants to continue, they keep clicking and if they want to they have a choice to exit that tour. Does Appian have any such feature to record such a feature for an application developed/released in Appian?

Hi Sundeep Ramesh ,are you specifically telling about the Applications in Appian Community Edition site?
Hey Varun, my question is more of the application we develop for clients. Some applications have this overlay which the user goes through to explain what each button does or what the grid is for, etc.
There are no overlays in Appian. But you can implement a comparable feature without overlays.
Hi Stefan,
Any pointers on how to implement such a feature.
A simple approach could be to add visually distinctive cards to your specific spots in your UI that explain new features, and can be switched off. You would have to store that switch for each use and card. When deploying, you would add new content for each of these spots. In the UI you fetch new items and display them.
I think the most important aspect is a visually coherent UI design so users immediately know what they are looking at.
