Article summary

Whatfix Mirror enables you to pause and play the Mirroring process while creating a simulation of an application. This prevents you from discarding and restarting lengthy screen capture processes due to unintended actions, such as opening an incorrect menu. It can also omit unwanted element captures, such as pop-up windows or advertisements. Pause enables you to navigate to the required menu and resume at the correct step.
