Step 2: Capture a Scribe

A Scribe is a step-by-step guide automatically created for any digital process. In order to capture a Scribe, all you have to do is turn on the Scribe recorder (via either the browser extension or desktop app), walk through your process as you normally would, and turn it off when you're done.
