Text and numbers
When an arrow is not enough, write the step with text or numbers.
Text
- Choose the text tool and click where the note should sit.
- Type the note.
- Adjust size and color so it stays readable on the background.
Short lines work best, such as “click here” or “the version is at the top right.”
Numbers
Numbers fit a sequence:
- Choose the number tool.
- Click the image in the order of the steps.
- Add a short note beside a number when you need one.
Good for install steps, troubleshooting, and a feature demo.
Layout
- Put text in empty space so it does not cover the thing you are showing.
- Use light text on a dark background, and dark text on a light background.
- If there are more than five steps, split them across several captures.
