On some steps, animated **guide hands** show you what to do: a hand taps the object, or one or two hands grab the object and move it. A Training can change the color of these guide hands, for example so they stand out against the scene. The guide hands are **light blue** by default. A tap step with the default light-blue guide hand tapping the Altoura logo on a table The same tap step with the guide hand shown in purple Hand Animation Color changes only the guide hands. It doesn't change your own hands. For the gloves a Training can put on your own hands, see [Hand Representation](/creator-studio/trainee-client/hand-representation). ## When You See Guide Hands * **Tap steps:** a hand taps the object. * **Move steps:** one or two hands grab the object and move it. * **Rotate steps** don't use guide hands. Not every tap or move step shows guide hands. It depends on how the step is set up. Guide hands are hidden in [Assessment mode](/creator-studio/trainee-client/assessment-mode). ## How Long the Color Lasts Once the Training changes the color, the guide hands keep it on every later step, until the Training sets it back to light blue. * If you go **Back**, use [Reset Step](/creator-studio/trainee-client/reset-step), use **Restart Training** or resume the Training, the guide hands use the color the Training has set at that point. * When you close the Training, the color goes back to light blue. *** ## For Creators To change the guide hand color in a Training, see [Set Hand Animation Color & Reset Hand Animation Color](/creator-studio/creator-app/actions/hand-animation-color). ## Related * [Instruction Animation Color](/creator-studio/trainee-client/instruction-animation-color): the ghost that shows a move or rotation * [Tether Line Color](/creator-studio/trainee-client/tether-line-color): the line from the step panel to the object * [Highlighting](/creator-studio/trainee-client/highlighting): the glow on objects you need to use This documentation is built and hosted on [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com), a developer documentation platform.
