# How to capture a sandbox

{% hint style="info" %}
Make sure that you have the [Chrome extension](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/guideflow/neabdmkliomokekhgnogbeonopbjmajc) downloaded and installed on your browser before you get started.
{% endhint %}

Guideflow connects multiple HTML captures together to create a self-contained, interactive environment where users can freely explore on their own.

### Sandbox capture

{% @guideflow/guideflow-embed requestedUrl="<https://app.guideflow.com/player/zpe552gs3p>" %}

* Go to the website, platform, or app you want to capture.
* Open Guideflow's Chrome extension.
* Select Sandbox capture and start.
* Start clicking on the elements in your application.
* This will capture HTML snapshots and automatically stitch them into a sandbox demo.
* When finished, the capture will open up in Guideflow's sandbox editor.

Be sure to capture all screens you want to showcase.

**Sandbox vs. guided demos**

* **Sandbox**: A clickable, interactive demo that mimics your actual product and gives audiences the ability to explore on their own. During capture, all elements you click are automatically connected to create a complete demo environment. Ideal for live demos, product tour pages, and sales calls with presenter notes. These demos work best mid-funnel when leads are already knowledgeable about your product.
* **Guided demo**: An interactive demo that guides users through a specific flow to showcase the value of features or use cases using [Call-to-Actions](/help/edit-your-guideflow/call-to-action-cta.md) like hotspots, walkthroughs, and spotlights. Guided demos ensure users see key features and functionalities by leading prospects through a defined path. Perfect for top-of-funnel engagement to highlight your main value proposition and create "aha" moments.
