Create and Update Documentation from an Uploaded Video

Learn how to upload a recording for Pageloop to analyze and create article drafts, update work items, or both.

Written by Nivedha Venkatesh

Pageloop allows you to transform a single screen recording, product walkthrough, feature demo, or onboarding session into documentation. Pageloop processes the recording as one documentation-analysis job, identifies documentation opportunities, and determines whether to create new article drafts, updates to existing articles, or both.

Here are the steps to upload and process your video:

  1. Navigate to the Pageloop Home screen and click the + New button in the top-left corner of the sidebar.

  3. 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.

  4. Enter a descriptive name in the required Title field.

  5. 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.

  6. Click Process Video to begin the analysis.

Reviewing Generated Work

Depending on the topics and workflows shown, one uploaded video can create new article drafts under the Articles tab, updates to existing articles under the Updates tab, or both. These work items appear after Pageloop completes the initial analysis and decides what downstream work is needed. This differs from Proactive Suggestions, which identify documentation updates from product changes and connected sources.

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 can take time because Pageloop first analyzes the recording and determines what to create or update before article/update work items appear. Allow a few minutes for 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.
