      Creating a Scribe

      1
      Welcome to the Official Guide to Scribe 2.0! To get started, simply navigate to [scribehow.com](http://scribehow.com) or open your desktop application and your workspace will automatically appear.
      2
      Once you are logged into Scribe (desktop version), click "New" to start a new recording. If you're using the web version, you can click the "record" plug-in on the top-right hand corner of Google Chrome.
      3
      Choose the "Launch Desktop Recorder" option. Note that, depending on your organization's settings, you may not have a "web recording" option. Next, complete the steps on your computer that you want to appear in your Scribe.

      Scribe will generate a step and screenshot every time you click. For best results, clear your desktop of unused applications.
      4
      When you're finished, simply click "Stop" (you'll see this button automatically appear in the top-left-hand side of your screen when you start recording). If you're on the web version, select the "recording" plugin in the top-right hand corner of Google Chrome.

      Mac users: click the blinking recording button in your top bar to stop recording.
      6
      Voila! Your Scribe will automatically appear in the editor window. Follow the instructions below to edit your Scribe as needed.

      Scribes often work best and are easiest to consume if they're concise. However, we know that sometimes you may need to record a longer process. Scribe will automatically stop recording after ~200 steps. If you want to continue, you may easily do so - see the "record additional steps" section below for more details. If you do create a lengthier Scribe, we suggest breaking it into sections (see below under "Editing your Scribe")

      Editing your Scribe

      7
      First, give your Scribe a title by clicking the "pencil" icon next to the auto-generated title.

      Change the icon and color by simply clicking into it and choose your preferences.

      Capture something you didn't want to? No problem - simply delete the step. Start by clicking the 3 dots in the upper-right hand corner of the screenshot you want to delete.
      10
      Click "Delete Step" and confirm.

      For your privacy and security, deletion is PERMANENT and cannot be undone.

      You can also delete multiple steps at once. Click "Select Multiple".
      12
      Select the check boxes of the steps you want to delete and click "Delete Selected", then confirm.

      13
      To add more context to your scribe, you can insert a "Tip", "Text Instruction", or "Alert". For longer Scribes, you can also add "Sections", which will help break your Scribe into manageable parts and make it easier for viewers to navigate the Scribe by automatically adding a table of contents. Start by hovering between the steps and clicking the "+" icon wherever you want to add in the section / tip / alert / etc.
      14
      Choose the type of context you want to add. In this example, I chose a "Tip".
