ScreenSteps

Create visual training lessons in PDF or HTML format.

ScreenStepsOverview

Note: ScreenSteps 2 (2.9) is no longer under development, and ScreenSteps 3 is planned as a cloud-based service, which you can read about here. Blue Mango is offering Clarify, available here, as their standalone offering.

ScreenSteps is not just another screen capture application. ScreenSteps helps you answer questions by automatically creating image-based documents as you capture screenshots.

Using the integrated authoring tools you can quickly annotate images and add text. When you are finished you can export to HTML, PDF, Word (DOCX)*, WordPress, TypePad, Bloger, Movable Type, MindTouch*, Confluence*, Googles Sites*, Joomla or ScreenSteps Live.

* Requires ScreenSteps Pro

NEW

Features
  • Importing a ScreenSteps 2 lesson package with a lesson linked to a Zendesk topic will now try to connect the imported article to the Zendesk article. You must be importing the article into a site that is connected to a Zendesk target service.
  • Reworked the URL dialog. You now select a manual from a menu rather than viewing one large tree.
  • You can now search the current manual in the URL dialog.
Changes:
  • Removed accelerator keys for creating a new account. They conflicted with checking an article out.
  • Changed name of button on "Open Library" window to "Create New Connection".
  • Added the username that is currently logged in to the list of accounts.
  • When duplicating annotations the duplicate is now offset from the original.
  • Step image filenames are now limited to 50 characters + the file extension. Previously it was 100 characters but this can lead to file paths that are too long on Windows.
  • Improved error reporting when HTML files are being moved from the temporary output directory to the destination folder.
  • When rendering a step image, the name of the step is now used in the error report rather than the step number.
Fixes:
  • If you checked in an article, left the article window open, exported the manual the article was in (e.g. HTML, PDF, etc.), checked the article back out, then changed the article description you would get an error about missing steps when checking the article back in.
  • The reorder indicator would not display when moving a step to the top of the list.
  • Fixed a bug that caused ScreenSteps to think that the public version of a step image had been uploaded when in fact it had not.
  • Fixed a potential error that could occur when using the delete key to delete an article from the All Articles view.
  • Resizing images that had been cropped was not working properly.
  • Resizing an image that had been cropped would affect the crop.
  • Rotating an image that had been cropped would not alter the crop properly.
  • The percent input in the image resize dialog was accepting floating point percentages but was not processing them correctly.
  • Clicking "Cancel" from the connect to your account screen would not cancel the current oauth authentication session.
