ScreenSteps description Download
Everyone loves visual documentation. It is so much easier to see a picture of what you need to do as opposed to reading lengthy instructions.

ScreenSteps makes creating visual training almost effortless:
1. Capture each step of the process you are trying to teach. The images are automatically sequenced in the order you took them. Crop images and add highlights to focus on the pertinent areas of the screen
2. Go back and add text describing each step. You shouldn't have to write too much since the pictures will show each step of the process.
3. Export your lesson to PDF or HTML. You can even create your own HTML and XML templates.

That's all. You can literally create visual, detailed lessons in 5 to 10 minutes.


Screen recordings are great for product demos and introductions but if used incorrectly they can become ineffective and cumbersome to create. They are also nearly impossible to update if your software changes. You almost always have to start over again from scratch.

So we suggest you do what we do: use screen recordings for what they are good for - product demos - but create your documentation in ScreenSteps. It will take you much less time and will be more useful to your customers.

Here are some key features of "ScreenSteps":

· Built in screen capture
· Crop Tool
· Annotation Tools: Circle, Square, Rounded Square
· Adjust annotations at any time (non-destructive annotation)
· Integrates with third party screen capture applications such as SnagIt (Windows) and Snapz (Mac).
· Integrates with any image editor
· Automatically sequences your captures in the order you took them
· Easily reorder or replace images
· Assemble your steps in Thumbnail view and then add text in Preview mode for a better view of your images
· Export to PDF, HTML or your own custom HTML/XML templates



What's New in This Release:

· When canceling an editing session while editing step instructions the instructions field will now return to it's proper size.
· If a step title was empty, you entered text and then tabbed out of the field and back in without ending the editing session first then the title would disappear.
· Deleting an annotation while dragging no longer causes an error dialog to display.
· Tabbing from lesson title now opens lesson description for editing.
· Tabbing from lesson description now opens first step title for editing.
· You can no longer add a lesson to a topic twice by putting into two different sections.
· File->Import now imports text (.txt) files. Importing a text file will create a new step in currently loaded lesson. If viewing the Lesson Library or a Topic then a new lesson will be created and a step will be added with the imported text.
· When running a trial version of ScreenSteps the window title now says "(Trial)".
· Pasting a valid serial number into the serial number field will now enable the Register button.
· Cutting and pasting from instruction fields using the contextual menu now resizes the instruction field accordingly.
· Loading a lesson, returning to the lesson library then dropping the lesson onto a tag now refreshes the lesson tag list if you then load the lesson again.
· If you draw a crop rectangle then select another tool the crop rectangle now disappears.
· Lesson modification timestamp wasn't being updated when some changs were made to the lesson.
· Lesson library list was not always updating the list of lessons when a lesson was modified and lessons were being sorted by modification date.
· If a) a step control was selected and b) the user clicked somewhere in a lesson to deselect the step but not select another step and c) the user clicked on the same step again then the step would not highlight.
· Cutting a step no longer asks you if you want to delete it.
· First working Windows version.
· Deleting the last account in ScreenSteps Live preferences no longer generates an error.
· Sequence annotations reposition themselves properly when zooming out a step image.
· Importing ScreenSteps 1.x lessons no longer alters annotation position on large images.
· Addition of "Show on www.screenstepslive.com home page" setting when uploading to ScreenSteps Live. This allows you to put a lesson in the public feed (appears in searches) but not list it on the main ScreenSteps Live site.
· PDF table of contents now resets lesson index numbers for each section.
· Spell check handles accented characters in step titles correctly now.
· Units added to PDF template page margins.
· Spell checker was missing words when using "Find Next", "Ignore", "Learn" or "Forget".
· Step titles are now correctly stored in the database when using the spell checker.
· Steps no longer scroll into view when clicking on them. This was proving to be disconcerting.
· Crop box and resize handles were not always aligned when resizing. This has been fixed.
· After upgrading from ScreenSteps 2.x Standard to ScreenSteps 2.x Pro the user is no longer prompted for the 2.x Standard serial number each time the application launches.
· The Lesson Library sorting menu was not visually syncing to the proper setting at startup.
· Annotations should now reposition themselves properly in all circustances when changing the image size.
· In the numeric resize dialog you can now resize an image to a percentage > 100.
· If you update the lesson description in the lesson library lesson inspector the description will now update in the UI if the lesson was the last lesson viewed.
· Copying step media using the contextual menu no longer creates a new step with the clipboard contents when Clipboard Recording is enabled.
· The PDF exporter now handles non-existent step image files gracefully.
· Cutting a step image now removes the image from the lesson media folder.
· The crop tool now crops the correct area when the user drags the crop box after intitially drawing the crop box.... [ read full changelog ]
