The deciding question

In-app guidance and a portable lesson serve different moments

Decide whether help must appear inside the application while someone works, or whether the person needs a lesson they can watch and keep. Those delivery methods are not interchangeable. Evaluate Tango for guidance in the flow of work. Evaluate Record Wow for an edited demonstration with written instructions and downloadable files. Test the same process with a new teammate, including how they find the explanation again when the task comes up later.

Our workflow recommendation. Use the official sources above to confirm the product features behind your decision.

Choose for the work
you actually do.

The right choice depends on the output, the people using it and what happens when it needs an update.

Record Wow

You need a video
and a useful handoff.

Record Wow suits recurring walkthroughs, customer explanations and training material. Keep the recording, written instructions and review process in a free workspace, with downloadable files for later use.

Tango

You need its specialist workflow.

Choose Tango when interactive in-app assistance or automating a documented workflow is a priority.

Choose a specialist if interactive branching or in-app walkthroughs are essential. Record Wow wins for teams that need a downloadable video and an editable written guide from the same project.

Try a real task

Compare with
a product onboarding guide.

Choose a workflow with three steps. Decide whether the audience must click through a simulation, watch a video or follow written instructions. Those are different deliverables.

Make one revision before deciding

Change a real detail in the source material. Time the work needed to correct the explanation, inspect the final output and share the revision. This reveals more about everyday use than the first polished demo.

Bring your work into Record Wow.

  1. Keep an export and the original

    Check that your Tango plan and permissions allow export. Save a supported video or image file and keep your original project as a backup. A hosted link alone is not a portable editing project.

  2. Build a small, complete example

    Import the media, arrange the explanation and add written steps. Review captions and screenshots against the source so the guide says what the recording actually shows.

  3. Test the handoff with another person

    Ask a teammate to follow the instructions and review the result. Check access from the recipient’s account before moving more material or replacing an existing workflow.
