Replace Video in Smart Vid Steps
We're excited to roll out a powerful new feature for
Smart Vids
that gives you more flexibility than ever:
You can now

of a Smart Vid — without breaking your setup, disrupting interactions, or losing engagement stats.
Perfect for quick content updates or replacing outdated footage, this upgrade makes Smart Vids more dynamic, efficient, and reliable for fast-moving teams.
🔍
Overview
With this new capability, you can seamlessly replace the video file inside any Smart Vid Step with another video from your
My Vids
library. The rest of your setup — including interactions, captions, thumbnails, and data — stays intact.

    – interaction timings adjust automatically, and display durations shrink to fit.
  • Persistent Video Linking
    : Once a video is replaced into a Step, it stays linked — even if you delete it from
    My Vids
    .
  • Stat Preservation
    : Your engagement and performance data remain intact. If a video was replaced during a selected stats window, a helpful note will display.
