Before you record
- Document text is drawn on a canvas; use blur areas for anything private in the document body.
Record your Google Docs walkthrough
- Open the document.
- Record
using menus (formatting, comments, sharing).
- Zoom
on the toolbar.
Turn it into a written Google Docs guide
Menu and toolbar actions become clear steps ("Click Share"); clicks inside the page become "the highlighted area".
Parts of Google Docs are drawn on a canvas, so Zoomr can't read that text. Guide steps on those areas read "Click the highlighted area", and automatic privacy blur can't detect data there. Use Alt+click (Option+click on a Mac) or an editor blur area for anything private.
Tips for Google Docs recordings
- Use a sample document.
- Share-dialog emails are blurred automatically.
