Frequently Asked Questions

Your most common questions, answered.

How to create step-by-step instructions with screenshots?

Creating a user manual with screenshots is easy with GuideToDocs. Simply activate our screen grab tool, perform your workflow, and the extension will automatically generate a how-to guide with step-by-step instructions. Each action is captured with a screenshot, which you can then edit and export to a Google Docs user manual template or as rich HTML.

What about the privacy of my data? Where is my step-by-step user guide stored?

All recordings and guides are processed 100% locally on your device until you export them. When you save to Google Docs, only you manage the sharing settings.

Can I use this as a snipping tool for creating SOP documentation?

Yes! Unlike basic screen grab tools, GuideToDocs auto-captures entire sequences with annotations. Export it as an SOP-ready user guide template for Google Docs or copy it as a rich HTML manual to your favorite documentation system.

Is there a recording history to view all my step-by-step user guides?

Yes! Our Recording Library stores every session, letting you search, filter, edit instructions, and resume recordings to create updated user manuals or how-to guides.

How quickly can I make professional step-by-step instructions?

You can create polished how-to guides in about 2 minutes: Record (1 min) + Edit (1 min) + Export to Google Docs/HTML/PDF (1 click). That's up to 90% faster than manual methods!
