Challenge

Before using FlowShare, documentation required multiple manual steps. Screenshots had to be created, mouse pointers inserted manually, and descriptions added step by step. The content was then transferred into MS Publisher and exported as PDFs. This process was time-consuming and required significant effort.

Solution

With FlowShare, documentation can be created by simply running the tool alongside the workflow. Every mouse click is recorded automatically, and screenshots are generated with corresponding descriptions.

After completing the process, screenshots can be adjusted, and the documentation can be exported directly as PDF, Word, or HTML.


This simplifies the entire workflow and removes the need for manual steps.
