What can you do with your captured screens?
Skyllful saves your captured screens to the Screen Library. Then choose one of the following.
| If you want to | Do this |
|---|---|
| Add the screen Replicas to a new Lesson | Select Create Lesson. |
| Add the screen Replicas to an existing Lesson | Select Append to Lesson. |
| Review the screenshots in the Screen Library instead | Select Close. |
What are the best practices?
- If your screens do not need much text editing, toggle Autoconvert off before you capture.
- When you batch edit screens, you can add cropping bounds easily.
- You can reorder captured screens before you import them into a Lesson.
How do you troubleshoot capture problems?
| Issue | Quick fix |
|---|---|
| You cannot capture a screen with the mouse out of view | Capture the screen, then remove the mouse pointer from the Replica using the Skyllful editing tools. |
| You lose the option to import all captures into the Lesson | Some screens were converted with the editor behind the tray and others were not. Add all screens to your Lesson before you do any editing. |
What if you cannot capture from a video?
Contact your Local Administrator first. If your Local Administrator cannot resolve the issue, submit a case through the Skyllful support portal.
