How can I create a finding / save part of a recording?

Editing recordings to create snippets and findings (formerly known as highlights) to share with your team.

Written by Henrik Mattsson

🚀 With the update to our new dashboard, the term "Highlight" has been replaced with "Finding" and "Highlight Reels" are now simply "Reels"

Findings are a great way to extract important snippets from you session, in order to use in a summary or send to any stakeholders (designers, developers, others).

Lookback supports creating Findings during a LiveShare session and while replaying the session too.


Available on the following plans

  • All plans


Go To Section:


Create a Finding during a LiveShare session

  1. Add a Note

  2. Hover over the new note and click the click the 💡 icon to convert the Note into a Finding. This will create a 1 minute finding using the timestamp of the Note as the in-point.

  3. Your newly created Finding will be seen in the Findings tab of your project

🚀 Just click the menu icon ︙ to edit the or timestamps of your Finding

and fine-tune length and location of the Finding.


Create a Finding while reviewing a session

There are two ways to create findings when reviewing a session:

  1. Convert a note to a finding: Hover over the note and click the 💡icon to convert it to a finding (see above for step-by-step instructions)

  2. Using the timeline

    1. Click the finding icon 💡 on the right end of the timeline or tap "t" on your keyboard while playing the session to mark the beginning of a finding.

    2. Click the finding icon 💡 or tap "t" on your keyboard again to mark the end of the finding

    3. Give your Finding a name and click 'Save'.

🚀 Drag either end of the Finding to change the length of the Finding

❗️Don't delete the Original Session! The Finding/snippet just points to a part of the original recording. So if you delete the original session, the Finding will also be deleted.
