Highlight Object
The highlight object action will make an object be highlighted when called. This can be useful when trying to draw a users attention to an object or area so that other steps can be performed.
An Example of an object (Person on a ladder) being highlighted, prompting the use to explore more
Another thing to note on this step is the inclusion of “Undo Entry Points” this functionality allows the undoing of this step after a given step is complete. This can be useful for turning off the highlight after the user has for example grabbed or snapped it etc.
