πŸš€ 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 πŸ’‘ 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
    ​

πŸš€ Just click the menu icon οΈ™ 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 πŸ’‘icon to convert it to a finding (see above for step-by-step instructions)
    ​

  2. Using the timeline
    ​

    1. Click the finding icon πŸ’‘ 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 πŸ’‘ or tap "t" on your keyboard again to mark the end of the finding
      ​

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

πŸš€ 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.
