If the time comes that the developer gets a productive editing interface in place, ScreenSteps could become the best product in the category of documentation development, but until then it is punishing experience to use this product.Let’s take a glance at the two apps, and evaluate their feature sets. If you don't need multi platform or zendesk integration you are much better off with MacSnapper. I will develop and organize all the content of my manual with other screen snap tools such as Little Snapper, Skitch and Voila and then move them into ScreenSteps as a final step. In the end, the process of producing documentation becomes as frustrating and time consuming as it would be without the program.īecause this program integrates with Zendesk I will continue to use it but only as a publishing tool. There is no way to handle multiple steps so each step must be individually moved from lesson to lesson in a tedious multi-step process that wastes time and energy. The standard system clipboard is not supported so there is no way to collect steps and improve efficiency using scrapbooks or multi-clipboards. ![]() The editing interface is anti-productive. It is extremely time consuming and tedious to reorganize steps into multiple small hyperlinked lessons All the time you save by creating steps easily is completely lost in the editing process.

It is very effective and easy to use when it comes to snapping screen shots which are automatically added as steps to an open lesson. Also, it is cross platform which is very important if your are documenting a product runs on both Mac and Windows. It integrates with Zendesk which is very important to me. I can output manuals to a variety of well designed outputs including pdf and html. ScreenSteps has certain great advantages that make it worthy of consideration. ![]()
