Storyboard the task from input to completion
Storyboard the request arriving, responsibility being assigned, changes being requested and approval becoming visible in history. Every frame should explain what changed and what the viewer can do next. Label sample data and any configuration transition so the tour cannot imply an automatic or instant workflow it has not demonstrated.
Worked example — illustrative data.
| Frame | Screen and action | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: request arrives | Sample design brief with required fields | Explain the input |
| 2: assign review | Choose the named approver | Show responsibility |
| 3: request changes | Approver leaves a specific comment | Show the working interaction |
| 4: approve | Status and decision history update | Show the completion state |
| 5: continue | Link setup documentation or real evaluation | Explain how to try the actual task |
Write the narration as task instructions before designing motion. Use clearly labeled sample data and remove unsupported timing claims. Keep each frame connected to the previous one so the viewer can understand what changed. Provide readable captions and a usable static path where animation is not helpful. Include a fit limitation in the tour if the shown workflow needs a particular role or configuration.
Editing a tour can conceal waiting or configuration
An edited tour can hide waiting, configuration or manual work between screens. Label those transitions instead of suggesting that a scripted sequence proves an instant or automatic workflow.
Approve the storyboard when a buyer can explain the task and its prerequisites after viewing it. Validate current product screens and interactions before calling it a product demonstration.
