Create your first document
Click New document from your document library. You’ll see five input options:Choose the input type that matches what you have, then fill in the document title, version, and, if your organization uses them, department. For non-blank inputs the title is optional: Steppd infers one you can edit later.
Blank
Start with an empty editor and write or paste content directly.
Notes
Paste raw text, bullet points, or a rough process description. Steppd structures it for you.
Audio
Upload an audio recording (MP3, WAV, M4A, up to 25 MB). Steppd transcribes and structures it.
Video
Upload a video walkthrough (MP4, MOV, WebM, up to 2 GB). Works great with screen recordings.
Document
Upload an existing PDF, Word (.docx), or plain text (.txt) file (up to 20 MB).
Review the AI draft and answer clarifying questions
For Notes, Audio, Video, and Document inputs, Steppd sends your content to an AI model that structures it into a document with sections, steps, and sub-steps.Once the draft is ready, you’ll see a draft outline, the document title and a numbered list of sections with step counts. Below the outline, Steppd asks a short set of clarifying questions to fill any gaps it identified.Answer the questions and click Create document to finalize the draft.
Your documents and input files are not used to train any AI models. Uploaded audio, video, and files are discarded once Steppd has extracted the content.
Edit in the rich text editor
The editor opens with your structured document ready to review. You’ll see the sections, steps, and sub-steps Steppd generated.Make any changes you need: rename sections, reorder steps, add sub-steps, update wording, or fill in details the AI left open. The editor saves your work as a draft, only your team can see it until you publish.
Publish your document
When the document is ready, click Publish from the editor toolbar or the document action menu.Publishing promotes the draft to your active process library. It becomes the source of truth for that process, and any downstream integrations (webhooks, API, embeds) will reference the published version.
Share your document
After publishing, you have two ways to distribute your document:Shareable link, copy the public URL from the document menu. Drop it into Slack, include it in an email, or send it to a new hire. No Steppd login required to view.Embed code, use the embed option to generate an
<iframe> snippet. Paste it into Notion, Confluence, your intranet, or any tool that accepts embeds, and your document appears inline.Your first document is published and live. Anyone with the link can view the latest version.
