# Review a video

## Review a video

A narrated walkthrough video is an auto-generated recording of a manual page, with a
spoken voiceover and synchronized captions. Open a narrated walkthrough video when you
need to watch one associated with a project, share it, embed it, or download it.

The **Videos** destination opens the project’s video list and its selected-video
surface. The **public player** is the chaptered player for one video.

| If you need to… | Go to |
| --- | --- |
| Open the project’s video list | [Videos overview](doc:videos-overview) |
| Select and review a video | Find and open a video, then select it to review |
| Use a share link, embed code, or download | Find and open a video, then use its actions |
| Read the available video actions | [Video reference](doc:video-reference) |
| Open a public player | Open the public player for the video ID |

## Before you start

You need a signed-in session and a current project before the Videos destination can
load that project’s videos. The project supplies the context for the enterprise video
surface. The public player needs the video ID for the video you want to review.

**Prerequisites**

- Sign in to Atloria.
- Select a project in the header dropdown.
- Have a saved video available in that project if you want to review a player.
- Have the video ID if you are opening the public player directly.

The screen can also open without a selected project or without any videos. In those
cases, use the branch that matches the message on screen rather than looking for a
video player.

## Find and open a video

The **Videos** destination is the signed-in entry to a project’s video list. Use it
when you are starting from the application navigation. Use the public player when you
already have a video ID.

**Steps**

1. Choose how you want to open the video.

   | If you have… | Open… |
   | --- | --- |
   | Access to the application navigation | The **Videos** destination |
   | A public video ID | The **public player** for that video ID |

2. If the project’s video list has finished loading, select the video list item you want to review.

**Result:** The selected video opens in the project surface, or the public player opens
the video’s player.

## Understand the video screen

The project surface combines a list of page videos with the selected video’s player,
sharing actions, and script area. The public player contains the player output for one
video.

| Area | What you use it for |
| --- | --- |
| Video list | Select a video. Each item shows its page slug, locale, and status. |
| Player | Watch the selected video when a video URL is available. |
| Share row | Copy a share link, copy embed code, or download the video. |
| Script area | Edit **Intro**, each Step field, and **Outro** when an editable script is available. |
| Public player | Watch one available public video for its video ID. |

The script area has no required marker for **Intro**, Step fields, or **Outro**. It has
no grid, table, or confirmation dialog. The public player has no fields; it displays
the loading state, unavailable state, or chaptered player.

The project surface can show **Narrated videos** while it loads. When loading finishes,
the selected-video area depends on the project’s video list and the selected video’s
available data.

## Review the video

Select a video to watch it and use the actions beside its player.

**Prerequisites**

- The Videos destination shows at least one video.
- The selected video has a video URL for player, share, embed, and download actions.

**Steps**

1. Select the video list item you want to review.
2. Use the player controls to watch the selected video.
3. Choose the goal that matches what you want to do.

   | Goal | Control |
   | --- | --- |
   | Share the video | **Copy share link** |
   | Embed the video | **Copy embed code** |
   | Download the video | **Download** |

**Result:** The selected video remains open with its player and the available sharing
or download action completed.

## Handle the available video states

The video surface changes according to the project, video, script, and public-player
state. Choose the row that matches what you see.

| What you see | What to do |
| --- | --- |
| **No project selected** | Select a project from the header dropdown, then return to **Videos**. |
| **Loading videos…** | Wait for the video list to finish loading. |
| **Turn your manual into narrated videos** | Use the available generation route: select **🎬 Generate narrated videos** when it is shown, or select **Open project to generate →**. |
| **This video has no editable script.** | Review the player and use the available sharing actions. |
| **Loading…** on the public player | Wait for the public video request to finish. |
| **This video isn’t available.** | Check the video ID or return to the project’s Videos destination. |

**Prerequisites**

- The message or state in the first column is visible.

**Steps**

1. Choose the row that matches the message or state on your screen.
2. Follow the action in that row.

**Result:** The next screen or available video action matches the project, video,
script, or public-player state you selected.

## When a video action fails

Use the exact message on screen to identify the action that needs attention.

| Message | Meaning | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `Could not copy to the clipboard.` | The copy action did not complete. | Try **Copy share link** or **Copy embed code** again. |
| `Editing the narration script is a Pro feature. Upgrade to edit.` | Script editing is restricted by the plan. | Upgrade to edit the narration script. |
| `Could not save the script.` | The script save did not complete. | Try **Save script** again. |
| `Re-rendering video is a Pro feature. Upgrade to re-render.` | Re-rendering is restricted by the plan. | Upgrade to re-render the video. |
| `Could not queue a re-render.` | The re-render request did not queue. | Try **Re-render video** again. |
| `Script saved. Re-render to update the video.` | The script save completed. | Select **Re-render video** when you are ready to update the video. |
| `Re-render queued — the video will refresh shortly.` | The re-render request was queued. | Wait for the video to refresh. |
| `Loading videos…` | The project video list is loading. | Wait for the list to load. |
| `Loading…` | The public video request is loading. | Wait for the public player to load. |
| `This video isn’t available.` | The public video request did not return an available video. | Check the video ID or return to the Videos destination. |

## What to do next

After reviewing a video, continue with the action details in [Video reference](doc:video-reference)
or return to [Videos overview](doc:videos-overview) for the wider Videos destination and
embedded viewing surface.

Use the project surface for the selected video’s player, sharing row, script area, and
download action. Use the public player for the chaptered player associated with one
video ID.

**Result:** The next video action or the Videos destination is ready.
