How to Turn Off the Widget

  1. Open the WalkMe Editor
  2. Select Customize and then Customize Player
  3. Open the Widget tab
  4. Set the display to None

How to Create a Menu Launcher

    • Choose from the default launcher images
    • Upload your own image
    • Create a launcher image in the editor
  4. In the Interaction tab, set the action to Open Menu
  5. Save and publish the launcher
