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

  1. 1Blur before publishingUse automatic blur to catch obvious PII, then manually blur anything the model missed.
  2. 2Review every step in the playerPlay the demo end to end at full width — sensitive data often hides below the fold.
  3. 3Use expiring links where neededFree demo links expire after an hour; paid plans control sharing on their own terms.
  4. 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.
