Record script steps using the script builder
Record a task in your browser and rewrite its narrations.
Steps
- You build a content script by doing the task once in your browser while the extension records it. Then you shape the narration your viewers will hear. Screenshot
- Add steps opens the script's starting URL in a new browser window, with the script builder in the extension's side panel. Screenshot
- Know where the task ends before you start. A short flow with a clear start and end makes the best first content script.
- Now do the task the way your users would. Each action you take becomes a step. Screenshot
- As you perform the actions, we record the steps and display them on the right panel. Default narrations are automatically generated from each action — you can customize these later to craft your own messaging. Screenshot
- Save when you reach the end of the task, so the recorded steps are stored with the content script. Screenshot
- The default narrations describe each click. Your viewers already see the click, so a good narration says why the step matters instead.
- The email, password, and sign-in steps need only one line between them, so write one summary narration on the first of them. Screenshot
- Then turn off narration on the other two steps, so the summary plays over all three. Screenshot
- Finish with a closing narration that tells viewers what they've done and what to do next. Screenshot
- Save the script again to keep your narration changes. They reach every format the next time you generate. Screenshot
- Your script is recorded and its narration is ready. Next, generate it into every format from the Scripts page. Screenshot
