What is Demo Mode in Storage Studio?
Short answer: Demo Mode makes Storage Studio safe to record: nothing is really moved or removed, and stand-in names and figures replace your real ones. Turn it on or off in Settings → Advanced.
Demo Mode is for recording your screen or showing Storage Studio to someone. While it's on, nothing on your Mac is really moved, removed or emptied, and the app shows stand-in folder names, app names and figures instead of your real ones. Buttons behave exactly as they normally would, so a recording looks like the real thing.
Turn it on with Demo Mode — safe for recording in Settings → Advanced (it asks you to confirm), and turn it off when you're finished. The same section has a check that searches what Demo Mode shows for your own name, folders and Mac details, without changing anything.
