Review a demonstration before turning it into instructions you and your team can reuse. Recording requires the [desktop app](/concepts/desktop-app) and works on every plan. See [Plan limits](/account/plan-limits) for recording limits. ## Review before submitting Stopping [watch mode](/concepts/watch-mode) opens **Review recording** in the main desktop window and collapses the dock. The dock's recording control shows **In review** once preparation finishes. Click it to return to your unfinished review. Use the video, timeline, and details panel together. In narrow windows, the three-dot menu holds additional video controls. Scrub the timeline or play the video. The playhead marks the current time. Click an event on the timeline. Its details appear beside the video. Correct the event's text, timing, or action details. Click **Apply changes** to save your edits, or delete unwanted events. Click **Add annotation** and choose a type. The new annotation starts at the playhead. | Type | Use | | -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | | Click | Identify a clicked control | | Narration | Explain intent or a decision | | Drag | Describe movement between two points | | URL | Identify the page for a moment | | Value | Correct entered or selected information | | Highlight | Mark a region with a transparent box | | Redact | Conceal visible information with an opaque box | | Note | Add written context | | App/window or title change | Explain a change of context | | Scroll | Describe movement through a page | | Clipboard change | Mark copying without including clipboard contents | | Dialog | Describe a prompt or confirmation | Open **Layer visibility** to toggle tracks. The menu stays open while you select several tracks. Hidden tracks remain faded in the timeline and stop showing annotations over the video. Visibility does not delete annotations or change submitted evidence. Redactions remain visible and effective, including automatic privacy protection after deleting captured annotations. Editing narration changes the text Arro interprets. It does not replace or mute the recorded speech. Keyboard shortcuts preserve typing and menu controls. Use Space to play or pause, arrow keys to step, and S to split. ## Trim the procedure Drag a clip edge to trim directly. For numeric edits, change its start and end, then click **Apply trim**. While dragging, the timeline shows the excluded portion. The gap closes when you release. Splitting at both ends of an unwanted section creates a separate clip you can select and delete. ### Reset your edits **Reset recording** removes added annotations, highlights, redactions, and Instructions for Arro. You can undo either reset. | Control | Restores | | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- | | Reset cuts | Full footage, keeping annotation edits and instructions | | Reset recording | Full footage and original captured annotations | **Reset recording** asks for confirmation. Automatic privacy protection stays in place. ## Add highlights Choose **Highlight** or **Redact** from **Add annotation**, then drag over the video to draw a box. Select a box to resize it or edit its time span. Review each redaction's size and duration so the information stays covered for the whole relevant moment. ## Submit or discard Click **Submit** when the review is ready. Add optional **Instructions for Arro** (up to 1,000 characters), then confirm. Audimate prepares the edited video on your device and sends the remaining annotations for interpretation. See [Watch mode](/concepts/watch-mode#processing) for privacy, background processing, restarting, retrying, and cancellation. Your review draft survives navigation and window closure, but a full quit discards it. If the submission cannot be sent, the prepared revision is kept on your device and the editor locks. Click **Retry submission** to send it again, or **Discard** to drop it and return to editing. Discarding permanently deletes your unsaved recording. This cannot be undone. Click **Discard** to open the confirmation. Confirming returns you to Home, while canceling keeps your edits. ## What Audimate creates Audimate creates a guide with reference images and a draft [playbook](/concepts/playbooks) describing the reusable procedure. For repeatable work, Audimate creates an empty [task board](/data/boards) and intake form. Form fields collect each case's inputs. Result fields stay outside the form. Recorded examples do not prefill tasks. Review the guide, form, and playbook before running the procedure. ## Edit the saved guide Open the workflow's **Recording** tab to refine instructions, headings, and notes. You can also ask [Arro Workspace Agent](/concepts/workspace-agent) to clarify the guide. On wide screens, the heading panel floats on the left without moving the recording. It stays hidden when there isn't enough room. Select a heading to scroll to it while keeping the panel open. Click **Close contents** to collapse it to a **Contents** button. Click that button to reopen the panel. Changing a saved guide does not trim or redact the source video. Use the desktop review editor for those changes before submission. To follow the saved procedure yourself, choose **Guide me** from the workflow. Arro coaches from your current screen using the recording and maintained playbook. ## Related Capture a demonstration in your real apps. Refine the written procedure before running it. Supply the inputs for each new task.
