# Enable Product Flow Capture

Product Flow Capture collects information about how users move through your product within a selected project. Use it when you need to document, review, or maintain the product flows associated with a project.

## Overview

Product Flow Capture is managed from the project area in Atloria. You begin from the **Projects** hub, open the project you want to work with, and use **Capture** to start collecting the project’s product-flow information.

Capturing is project-specific. Before you select **Capture**, make sure you have opened the correct project. This helps ensure that the information collected belongs to the intended product and does not affect another project in your workspace.

If you need to collect the information again after the product changes, use **Recapture**. The project also provides **Bulk Recapture** when you need to refresh captured information across a broader set of items.

## Prerequisites

Before you enable Product Flow Capture, make sure you have the following:

- Access to the Atloria **Projects** area.
- An existing project listed in **Projects**.
- The correct project selected for the product flow you want to collect.
- Permission to work with the project and start a capture.
- A clear understanding of whether you need a first-time capture, a single refresh using **Recapture**, or a broader refresh using **Bulk Recapture**.

## Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Select **Projects** to open the hub that lists all available projects.

2. Use the **Search projects...** field to find the project if it is not immediately visible.

3. Select the project you want to configure for product-flow collection.

4. Select **Open Project Dashboard** to open the focused project workspace.

5. Confirm that the project dashboard belongs to the product whose flows you want to capture.

6. Select **Capture** to enable and begin collection of product-flow information for the project.

7. Wait for the capture to complete before leaving the project dashboard.

8. Review the captured project information in the project workspace to confirm that the collection was completed for the correct project.

9. Select **Recapture** when you need to collect the product-flow information again after product changes.

10. Select **Bulk Recapture** when you need to refresh captured information for multiple applicable items rather than starting an individual recapture.

11. Select **← Back to Projects** or **← Back to Projects** when you are finished working in the project and want to return to the project list.

## Tips and Best Practices

- Start with **Capture** for a project that has not yet had its product-flow information collected. Use **Recapture** only when you need to refresh existing captured information.

- Verify the active project before selecting **Capture**. The **Projects** hub contains multiple projects, and capture activity should be performed only from the intended focused project.

- Use **Search across all projects...** when you need to locate content or context across the workspace. Use **Search projects...** when your immediate goal is to find and open a particular project.

- Prefer **Recapture** after targeted product updates. For example, use it after changes to screens, navigation, or user journeys that may affect an existing product flow.

- Use **Bulk Recapture** carefully. It is most useful when a larger update affects several applicable items and you need to refresh their collected information together.

- Do not use **Delete Project** as part of the capture process. Deleting a project removes the project rather than enabling or refreshing its product-flow collection.

- If you are setting up a project for the first time, select **New Project** and then **Create project** before returning to the project dashboard to use **Capture**.

## Troubleshooting

### You cannot find the project to capture

1. Select **Projects** to return to the project hub.

2. Enter the project name in **Search projects...**.

3. Select the matching project.

4. Select **Open Project Dashboard**.

If the project is not listed, create it first using **New Project** and **Create project**.

### You selected Capture for the wrong project

1. Select **← Back to Projects** or **← Back to Projects**.

2. Locate the correct project using **Search projects...**.

3. Select the correct project.

4. Select **Open Project Dashboard**.

5. Select **Capture** in the correct project workspace.

### Existing product-flow information needs to be updated

1. Open the affected project from **Projects**.

2. Select **Open Project Dashboard**.

3. Select **Recapture** to refresh the captured information.

4. Select **Bulk Recapture** instead if you need to refresh multiple applicable items as part of a wider update.
