Screenshots, files and screen recordings
#Attach a screenshot
A new area comment comes with a screenshot of that area on its own. It shows as a chip in the form: hover it to see the picture, click the pencil to annotate it, or click the cross to take it off before you post. Comments on a spot or on selected text, and replies, don't get one unless you add it.
To take a new one, click Attach screenshot while writing a comment. StiqNote captures the visible part of the page, without its own toolbar and pins, and outlines the element your comment is about.
To remove it from a comment you already posted, click Remove on the screenshot and confirm.
#Annotate it
Click Annotate on the screenshot. The tools, with their keys:
| Tool | Key |
|---|---|
| Select / Move | V |
| Pen | P |
| Highlighter | H |
| Arrow | A |
| Shape (rectangle, ellipse, circle, diamond, line, filled) | R |
| Text | T |
| Blur | B |
| Redact (a solid block) | X |
| Crop | C |
| Numbered callout | N |
Pick a colour and line thickness at the top. Use Label for text on a solid background. Double-click text to edit it. Undo is ⌘Z or Ctrl+Z, Redo ⌘⇧Z or Ctrl+Shift+Z. Select something and press Delete to remove it.
Use Blur or Redact to hide customer names, emails or anything else private before you post.
To annotate a screenshot that's already posted, open the thread and click Annotate on it.
