Special Access Rules

Admins have access to add or edit prompts and walkthroughs. For non-admin users, assign the Manage Prompts and Modify Metadata Through Metadata API Functions user permission. Everyone can see the In-App Guidance setup page. To show walkthroughs to users, use the View Walkthroughs user permission, which is part of the Walkthroughs permission set license. The myTrailhead subscription includes this feature. For pricing details, contact your Salesforce account executive.

Packaging Prompts and Walkthroughs

See Creating Managed Packages in Salesforce Help for more information.

See Considerations for Prompts in Lightning Experience in Salesforce Help for more information about installing and managing prompt packages and about editing and cloning prompts installed from packages.

If the package includes a custom profile or permission that isn’t part of a Salesforce org, the in-app guidance is installed, but it doesn't include those custom items. For example, an org installs a prompt with several custom profiles not included in their org. The prompts are installed without those custom profiles.

If the package includes a standard app that isn’t part of a Salesforce org, the in-app guidance is installed, but it's not usable.

If the package includes walkthroughs for standard apps that are part of an org, the walkthroughs are installed, but they aren't visible to users without the org subscribing to myTrailhead or starting a 30-day trial. However, orgs that don’t subscribe to myTrailhead or start a trial can show users walkthroughs from packages that have a walkthrough on at least one custom app page.

Walkthroughs can be only included in unmanaged packages, or in security-reviewed, first-generation managed packages.

When orgs install in-app guidance from packages, the in-app guidance will retain publish state as indicated by the IsPublished field. For example, if the package prompt is active, it will also be active when installed by the org.

Fields

Field	Details
Language	Type picklist Properties Create, Filter, Group, Restricted picklist, Sort Description Indicates the language used in the org where the in-app guidance was created.
NamespacePrefix	Type string Properties Filter, Group, Nillable, Sort Description The namespace prefix that is associated with this object. Each Developer Edition org that creates a managed package has a unique namespace prefix. Limit: 15 characters. You can refer to a component in a managed package by using the `namespacePrefix__componentName` notation. The namespace prefix can have one of the following values. In Developer Edition orgs, NamespacePrefix is set to the namespace prefix of the org for all objects that support it, unless an object is in an installed managed package. In that case, the object has the namespace prefix of the installed managed package. This field’s value is the namespace prefix of the Developer Edition org of the package developer. In orgs that are not Developer Edition orgs, NamespacePrefix is set only for objects that are part of an installed managed package. All other objects have no namespace prefix.
ParentId	Type reference Properties Create, Filter, Group, Sort Description ID of the in-app guidance.
Value	Type textarea Properties Create, Filter, Sort, Update Description The actual translated label of the in-app guidance.
