They are useful to show information that needs to be easily accessible for your end users. For example, you can show help information on any app screen as a Drawer. ![drawer_example](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/drawer_example.jpeg?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-29T17%3A12%3A33Z&se=2026-10-29T18%3A12%3A33Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=o3x%2FP7Xc%2F2bAkTGNV2nxlUOsgQcWcP3DvK%2FEp6pw50k%3D) You can create and configure your Drawer using the following steps: [Step 1: Create a Drawer project](/mobile/docs/create-drawer#create-drawer) [Step 2: Capture your Mobile app screens](/mobile/docs/create-drawer#connect-capture) [Step 3: Identify the screen](/mobile/docs/create-drawer#identify-screen) [Step 4: Design the Drawer](/mobile/docs/create-drawer#design-drawer) ## Step 1: Create a Drawer project 1.

The widget enables you to capture app screens as screenshots and saves them to your Whatfix Mobile Dashboard to create in-app guidance content. It also enables you to preview your projects and test them before publishing. For more information on how to capture and add app screens, see [Capture Mobile app screens](/mobile/docs/capture-your-app-screen-using-new-screen-capture-experience). Use the following steps to add a screen: 1. On the **Identify Screen** window, click **+ Add screen**. ![new_add_screen.png](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/new_add_screen.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-29T17%3A12%3A33Z&se=2026-10-29T18%3A12%3A33Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=o3x%2FP7Xc%2F2bAkTGNV2nxlUOsgQcWcP3DvK%2FEp6pw50k%3D) 2.

To identify the unique elements on the screen and to tag the right screen, click **+ Add Identifier**. ![Mobile_Add_Identifier.png](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/Mobile_Add_Identifier.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-29T17%3A12%3A33Z&se=2026-10-29T18%3A12%3A33Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=o3x%2FP7Xc%2F2bAkTGNV2nxlUOsgQcWcP3DvK%2FEp6pw50k%3D) 2.
