WalkMe Share facilitates collaboration by allowing WalkMe builders to easily share screenshots and videos while building a Smart Walk-Thru, SmartTip Set, or Launcher through an email notification.
WalkMe Share is the most efficient way to collaborate with others about your WalkMe implementation. Share, document, and collect feedback using WalkMe Share!
Designed with a suite of intuitive tools, WalkMe Share offers comments, screenshot editing, knowledge base article embedding, and shared deployable management.

- Onboard and train new builders faster by providing examples of successful builds created by other experienced builders;
- Download your Smart Walk-Thru as a PDF, PowerPoint, or jpegs, and present it to others to enhance the DAP skills of others.
WalkMe Share also allows you to generate video simulations for any how-to process from a Smart Walk-Thru. You can create and share a how-to video for a specific user or post it on your support site for everyone to watch.
