Capture screens as a one-time step using the Whatfix Creator widget. This widget enables you to capture app screens as screenshots and save 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.
If you are unable to access the Whatfix Creator widget, contact support@whatfix.com.
Capture screens from your mobile app
Use the following steps to capture your app screen using New Screen Capture Experience:
-
Open the app from which you want to capture screens.
-
Click the Whatfix Creator widget. The Creator Options tab enables you to Capture Screens and Preview Projects.
-
Click Capture Screens to enter the screen capture mode.
A camera icon appears below the Whatfix Creator widget icon.
- Click the camera icon to initiate the screenshot capturing process. Whatfix Mobile starts capturing the current screenshot and the metadata about where it belongs in the app.
If you wish to cancel the capture operation, click the x icon. This takes you back to the previous state, and the capture process is aborted. Otherwise, proceed to the next step.
- Once the screenshot is captured, Whatfix Mobile uploads it to the Dashboard.
- If the upload is successful, the capture button gets re-enabled, indicating that you can capture additional screens, if needed.
- Go to the App Screens section in the Whatfix Mobile Dashboard to access the captured app screens.
- All captured screens are named as untitled.
- Manage your captured app screens and rename the screenshots as required.
