⚠️ Feature removed: As of app version 3.7, "Run in Demo" and the Demo module are no longer available. This article explains what changed and what to use instead.
What's changed
"Run in Demo" was an option that let learners test out Bodyswaps and get used to the controls before starting a real engagement. As of app version 3.7, this option and the Demo module have been removed and are no longer available on your account.
If you're looking for the Demo module or the "Run in Demo" option and can't find it, this is expected — it's been retired, not relocated.
Why it was removed
The Demo module was out of date and has been discontinued.
What to use instead
If you still want learners to get comfortable with Bodyswaps' controls and interface before starting a real roleplay or exercise, you have two options.
Option 1: How to use Bodyswaps module
The "How to use Bodyswaps" module walks learners through:
- Setting up their avatar
- The buttons and tools within Bodyswaps
This is the closest direct equivalent to what "Run in Demo" offered, and requires no setup on your part — you can assign it as-is.
Option 2: Build your own intro pathway
Alternatively, you can build a custom intro pathway tailored to your learners' content area. We suggest including:
- One or two exercises relevant to the content area learners will be working in
- A roleplay that highlights that content area
Unlike the "How to use Bodyswaps" module, this option takes some setup on your end, but lets you introduce learners to both the platform controls and the specific subject matter they'll be practicing.
- Go to your content library.
- Select exercises and a roleplay relevant to your learners' content area.
- Add them to a new pathway.
- Assign the pathway to your learner group ahead of their main engagement.
