26.07-2LatestElements, themes & player customisation
Jul 20, 2026
Hotspot & tooltip call-outs — Hotspots are now a pulsing dot with a floating call-out card: snap it to 12 positions or drag it anywhere — the pointer keeps aiming at the target — rotate it with one click (Shift+R), and add a spotlight, backdrop dim, step counter, back arrow, or hide-until-hover.
Arrow element — Point at anything: drag from tail to head, pick a straight or curved shaft and a solid, pulsing, hollow, or draw-itself-in style — with the same optional card and button as tooltips.
Modals that edit in place — Type titles and text directly inside text and media modals on the canvas. Media uploads land in your Library for reuse, and every button opens Button options — label, styling, and what it does: continue, next step, jump to a chapter, or open a URL.
Clips wait for the viewer — Elements placed on a Video Mix clip pause the footage while they are on screen — new clip elements have Pause video on by default, and clicking the element or its button resumes exactly where it stopped.
Workspace themes — Create named color themes — accent, beacon, card and button colors — shared across your organization. Apply one per demo, and the workspace default styles every new demo automatically.
Browser frame & share page background — Wrap the played demo in a browser window with traffic-light dots, and pick the background color shown around it on its public share page.
Player views — Choose how viewers navigate: the classic Prev/Next buttons with step dots, or a slim progress bar along the bottom that fills as clips play, previews steps on hover, and jumps on click.
Live style preview — Demo settings now shows a miniature of the player beside the style options, updating instantly as you pick colors, frames, and navigation.
26.07-1Sandbox Mode, Library & Video Mix
Jul 1, 2026
Sandbox Mode (beta) — Capture any web page as a live, editable clone. Personalise the on-screen text and numbers — no engineering needed — then wire clicks so viewers can explore it like the real app.
Unified Library — My Demos is now a single Library for every demo and the video clips, images, and slides you capture or upload — reusable across the studio.
Video Mix editor polish — Real clip playback, a draggable timing pill, keyboard playback shortcuts, a centered toolbar, and Intro/Outro pages that match the finished demo.
Capture extension side panel — The browser capture extension is now a docked side panel with a reliable one-click sign-in, so capturing screens stays in view while you work.
Sturdier public share links — Fixed an issue where some public demo links could fail to load for signed-out viewers.
26.06-8New demo types & browser capture
Jun 26, 2026
Choose your demo type — The New Demo screen now lets you start a Standard step-by-step walkthrough or a Video Mix, each with an editor tailored to that format.
Video Mix — Combine screen-recording clips and still frames on a timeline with callouts to tell a guided, narrated story.
Browser capture extension — A new DemoStacker browser extension captures any web app screen straight into your Library, secured with a short-lived sign-in token.

Easier hub menu handle — The hub menu show/hide control is now a large, vertically-centered handle that is easy to find and click.
Removed the Grid view — Retired the unused hub Grid (tiles) view to simplify the experience.
26.06-2Demo editor & recording upgrades
Jun 7, 2026
Reorganized demo editor — Demo settings now sit at the top, every step is a collapsible accordion, and Publish/Save are pinned at the bottom of the inspector.
Recording countdown — A 3-2-1 countdown plays after you pick a screen and before recording starts, so the first moment is no longer wasted.
Widescreen guidance + live preview — Recording nudges you toward a 16:9 area and shows a live preview of exactly what is being captured, framed by a recording border.
