How to create and access a Discussion Guide for Moderators in Interview & LiveShare sessions

Written by Henrik Mattsson

When running through a moderated Interview or Live Share session with your participant, it can sometimes be helpful to have a list of questions or notes for things you want to make sure you cover with the participant during your session.


Using Lookback's Discussion guide, you can create a list that will only be seen by you as the moderator so you make sure you don't miss anything important!

  5. Click Save at the top right to save your changes
