Dismissing guide without using the action button
I don't see a way to do this but I am wondering if there is a way for a guide to be dismissed without forcing users to click the X action button. Ideally, they would be able to click anywhere outside of the guide and it would close. Is that an option?

Hi Casey Olyer
you can use this code in the last step of your guide to allow user to click anywhere to close the guide.
https://github.com/rohit366/snippets/blob/master/guides/dismissingGuides/dismissWhenClickOutsideGuide/dismissWhenClickOutsideGuide.js
Pendo's github also has other options like dismiss when you leave the hover https://github.com/pendo-io/snippets
How might I modify this JS to only dismiss the guide if a specific element on the page is clicked? For example: Guide says "Hey user, try this thing!" [user clicks on that thing/element] --> guide is dismissed without requiring the user to close the guide manually.
I like the option that allows user to click anywhere to close the guide. But I have a question: Will this dismissal be taken into account in the Repeat guide display? In other words, my Repeat guide display is set to repeat every 3 days. Will the guide reappear in 3 days if dismissed through this code?
Thank you!
It's so frustrating this isn't a feature when it's table stakes and is a features at all their competitors. :( Thanks for the code snippet though will give it a try.
You always have the option to dismiss the guide when the user clicks something specific like the feature you're pointing out in the UI, that is OOTB functionality.
