How to share a product demo link securely
A demo of real software often contains real data. Here is the pre-publish checklist we recommend.
Short answer
Blur every field containing customer or revenue data, review each step in the player, and use expiring links for anything sensitive.
Steps
- 1Blur before publishingUse automatic blur to catch obvious PII, then manually blur anything the model missed.
- 2Review every step in the playerPlay the demo end to end at full width — sensitive data often hides below the fold.
- 3Use expiring links where neededFree demo links expire after an hour; paid plans control sharing on their own terms.
- 4Publish and embedPublish to get a shareable link, or copy the embed snippet and drop the interactive demo straight into your page, email, or docs.

Frequently asked questions
- Do I need an account to share a demo link securely?
- No. The InstaDemo sandbox at /demo lets you paste a URL, click through the flow, and preview the finished interactive demo without creating an account. You sign up only when you want to save, edit, or share it.
- How long does this take?
- Most people finish in about three minutes: paste the page URL, click the steps in order, review the AI-drafted tooltip copy, then publish or embed the link.
- What about login-protected pages?
- Public pages can be cloned directly from a URL. For dashboards and other signed-in screens, use the InstaDemo Chrome extension to record inside your own authenticated session.
