When this is useful
Public pages are useful for positioning, terminology and visual identity. They may also contain an interactive example you can record honestly. Authenticated screens are needed when your claim depends on the actual account workflow. Preserve visible “sample” or “illustrative” labels when recording public examples.
Choose the workflow
- Choose the evidence source. Identify whether the useful material is a public interactive example, an authorised demo account or an existing recording. Do not quietly substitute one for another.
- Build a sequence of changed states. Capture the starting view, the control the user changes and the resulting view. A series of different headlines is not a software walkthrough.
- Adapt the message to what was captured. Describe the visible task and outcome, then add a clear next action such as exploring the product or trying the same workflow.
A production example
A public SEO example might let visitors switch between an audit, a suggested edit and a preview. A video can explain those illustrative states while keeping their example labels visible. It should not imply that the agent audited a paying customer’s real website.
Limits and checks
A site may require authentication, block automation or use unsupported controls. Public footage can still be useful, but it must be described as public or illustrative when that distinction affects the claim.
Your next step
List three concrete states available at your URL. If you can only list a hero, pricing table and footer, prepare a better demonstration source before requesting a feature demo.
