Create and Update Documentation from an Uploaded Video
Learn how to upload videos in Pageloop to automatically generate and update help center articles.
Pageloop allows you to transform video recordings directly into accurate documentation. Instead of manually drafting articles or tracking down product updates, you can upload a single screen recording, product walkthrough, feature demo, or onboarding session. Pageloop analyzes the recording to identify documentation opportunities, automatically suggesting new articles or updates to existing ones.
Here are the steps to upload and process your video:
-
Navigate to the Pageloop Home screen and click the + New button in the top-left corner of the sidebar.
-
Select Upload Video from the dropdown menu.
-
Drag and drop your video file or click to browse. Pageloop supports MP4, MOV, WebM, and AVI formats with a maximum file size of 2 GB.
-
Enter a descriptive name in the required Title field.
-
Provide optional context in the Tell us more about the video field. You can include details like the target audience, areas to focus on, or specific product changes shown in the recording.
-
Click Process Video to begin the analysis.
Reviewing Generated Work
Depending on the video content, you may see new articles created for you under the Articles tab, and/or updates to existing articles under the Updates tab. Uploaded video updates go ahead and directly create updates to your documentation, unlike Proactive Suggestions.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues while uploading or processing videos, check the following:
-
Unsupported File Format: Ensure your video is in MP4, MOV, WebM, or AVI format.
-
File Size Limit: Confirm that your video file does not exceed the 2 GB limit.
-
Delayed Work Items: Video analysis takes time. If you do not see new suggestions immediately, allow a few minutes for the background processing to complete.
-
No Suggestions Generated: If the video does not contain clear documentation opportunities or product changes, Pageloop may not generate any changes to your documentation. Try adding more detail in the optional notes field to guide the AI.
