Once a user had initiated a Guided Help session, everything on a user's desktop, excluding the Guided Help window and current task area, would be dimmed to help increase discoverability, while a green cursor would navigate to the task area to draw attention to a certain item on a screen. Guided Help was characterized by a compass with an animated arrow that would change its direction based on where the next step of the task was to be performed. For example, if a window on the left side of a user's screen included an option that was part of an ongoing task, the arrow would point toward the location of the option in that window. Additionally, if a user decided to perform a task through a series of progressive steps, the Guided Help window would automatically reposition itself toward the area where the next step was located.
