ABConvert's interactive modes walks you through test creation step-by-step with tooltips, hints, and visual guidance. The system is available in two modes:

- Guided mode — Create real tests with your actual products

Both modes provide the same coaching experience with smart tooltips that lead you through the whole creation with instructions for each field. The only difference is whether you're working with real or mock data.

FAQ

Can I use guided mode or tutorial mode multiple times?

Yes. Every time you click the "Guided tour" in test creation, you will start guided mode. It isn't limited to your first test.

Can I save progress in tutorial mode?

No. Tutorial mode never saves data. If you refresh the page or navigate away, all your tutorial progress is lost. This is intentional to keep tutorial sessions completely separate from real tests.
