Dynamic Tours HTML Capture

Capture web pages for use in Dynamic Tours

HTML Capture is how you bring a live web page (your app UI, a website, a documentation page) into a Dynamic Tour as a fully interactive snapshot. Viewers can click through it as if they were on the real page, while you overlay hotspots, callouts, and step text on top.

Where to find it

Library → Dynamic Tours → open a tour in the Tour editor → click HTML Capture in the editor toolbar.

Tour editor — HTML Capture mode.

How HTML Capture works

  • Open HTML Capture mode in the Tour editor.
  • Enter the URL of the page you want to capture.
  • Consensus renders the page in a controlled browser, captures its DOM, and stores the captured state for use in your tour.
  • Add hotspots, step text, and callouts on top of the captured page.

Best practices

  • Capture pages that are publicly accessible or behind a predictable auth flow — captures that depend on session state may not reliably reproduce.
  • For frequently-changing pages, re-capture periodically. The capture is a snapshot, not a live mirror.
  • Avoid capturing pages with content that's sensitive, subject-to-change, or requires customer-specific data.
