Your end users need answers fast and in the flow of work. They can’t afford to switch tabs, search different knowledge bases, read wordy documentation, watch long videos, or wait for you or a co-worker to screen share with them. That's where Tango's Guide Me feature comes in. Guide Me is an entirely new way to get process assistance from a Tango Workflow. It will change the the way your teams learns new processes and completes them.

Guide Me:

  • Transforms static how-to guides into interactive walkthroughs

  • Increases self-service by embedding instructions in the tools where people work

  • Minimizes FAQs by teaching end users how to use software while using it

  • Drives higher (and more measurable!) process adoption

What do I need to access Guide Me on a Tango Workflow?

In order to access Guide Me, you need the following:

  • A Tango account

  • The Tango extension installed (version is 6.0 or later on Chrome)

  • The Workflow must either be in the same Workspace where you are a member OR you will need to have been invited by email to the Workflow as a Guest.

  • Guide Me works best on Tangos created after 5/16/2023.

    • If your Tango was created before 5/16, you will be able to open the Guide Me Panel, but you will see a static workflow, and no elements will be highlighted on the screen.

For more information on Guide Me access and compatibility, see this article.

Once you've confirmed that you have access and the Workflow is compatible, there are several ways to open Guide Me:
