The shelves#
- Recordings
- Your takes and the videos you brought in. Each card plays under your pointer, so you can see what is in it without opening it.
- Guides
- Your step-by-step guides. Hovering a card walks through its steps.
- Screenshots
- Screenshots you took or brought in, and frames you saved from a video.
Switch shelves with the pill at the top. The number beside each name is how many things are on it.
Finding something#
- Type in the search field at the top, or press ⌘K. If nothing on this shelf matches, the library says which other shelf has a match.
- Sort with the Order chip: Newest first, Oldest first, By name, Longest first.
- Pick up where you left off shows the last thing you edited, one click from opening it.
- A card marked Editing is the one you edited last.
Make something new#
The column on the left starts something new from the library: a recording, a guide, a screenshot, or a file you bring in. Which ones it offers depends on whether you use the Mac app or Chrome.
