When you open DemoGo for the first time, you will be prompted to create your first demo.
If you have already have one or more projects in your library, you will be taken to your Project Library. From here, you can create a new project in one of two ways:
- Select ‘New’ from the main DemoGo menu at the top-left of the screen.
- Click on the ‘Create’ icon at the top of the Your Projects list.
You can also create a Group Project by clicking on the caret icon on the ‘Create’ button.
Creating a Standalone Project
When creating a new project, you will be prompted to provide the URL of the website for which you are creating a demo.
You will then need to give your project a name.
Creating a Group Project
When creating a group, you will be prompted to enter both a name and description for the Group. This description will appear on the Group Menu of your Demo. You can then begin adding projects to the group by clicking on the three dots next to the Group name.
When adding a Project to a Group, you will be prompted to add a description for the Project. The description will appear under the Project name in the Group Demo.
The name you give your Project or Group will become the end of the URL for your demo. For example, a project called ‘MyDemo’ will end up having a URL something like this:
https://www.mywebsite.com/demos/MyDemo
Bear this in mind when naming your project – a long project name will result in an unwieldy URL when your demo is published. Any spaces in your project name will be converted to ‘%20’ in your demo url, so a project called ‘My Demo’ will have a URL like this:
https://www.mywebsite.com/demos/My%20Demo
You can keep your Demo URLs more readable by using underscores or hyphens in place of spaces when naming your Projects/Groups.
Project names can be edited by double-clicking on the project in the Your Projects list or by clicking the pencil icon that appears next to the project name. When a project is renamed, the URL of the published demo will update to reflect the new project name. This means that URLs that have been previously shared for the demo will be invalidated, so be sure to update any existing links to the demo.
