JumpSeat uses HTML elements as anchors to attach guides to, meaning that a guide can be attached to almost anything viewable in a web browser. It is important to note that all media files including, Images, HTML videos, and Adobe Flash content are all interpreted as a single “element” by modern browsers, and will only be able to be associated with one JumpSeat guide. To create guides, you must be an authenticated JumpSeat user, and have administrative privileges active in your account.
