How to turn a Loom walkthrough transcript into an SOP draft
A walkthrough can explain a process informally without stating every prerequisite or decision. An SOP draft helps organize the supplied transcript into steps that another person can review and test.
Start with the right material.
- What you provide
- an existing readable Loom transcript that describes a procedure.
- The intended result
- A procedure draft from existing readable transcript text.
How the workflow works.
Extract the stated sequence, inputs and expected outcome. Identify steps that depend on visual actions missing from the transcript and list the information needed to make them reproducible.
What to check in the result.
Walk through the draft with the process owner before adopting it. Text alone may not capture a button choice or an exception shown on screen, so those gaps should remain explicit.
Preview the Markdown to check headings, lists and links as well as the words. Keep source references with the document so a reviewer can trace important statements back to the material you supplied.
Learn from the worked example.
The downloadable Markdown example shows one possible organization of the result. Read it alongside the source example and notice which statements are recorded facts, proposed wording or questions still needing an answer.
The supplied example is illustrative. It is not a recorded run on your data.

- Open the source you want to work with and activate WebAct on that tab.
- Copy the task from the hero, add any required fields or preferences, and review the proposed actions.
- Compare the first result with your source. Ask for a specific correction or refinement where needed.
