How-to Guide
1. Pin a screenshot to the screen
Entry point: Screenshot editing toolbar → Pin on Screen button
- Finish taking a screenshot and confirm the content you want to keep in the screenshot editing window.
- Click Pin on Screen on the toolbar.
- The screenshot is pinned above other windows.
- Drag the screenshot window to move it to a better position on the desktop.
- Continue working in other apps while the screenshot stays visible on top.
Success Criteria
- UI state: The screenshot appears as an independent floating window above other windows.
- Next actions: You can switch to other windows and still keep the screenshot visible.
- No side effects: Your current work window stays open.
Tips While Using
- Common mistakes: If you exit before the screenshot editing step is complete, the screenshot will not enter the pinned state.
- Environment limits: The pinned screenshot takes up part of the screen, so move it to an area that does not block your work.
2. Manage a pinned screenshot
Entry point: Upper-right control area of the pinned screenshot
- Move your pointer over the pinned screenshot.
- Find the available controls in the upper-right area of the screenshot.
- Click Window Shadow to turn the screenshot shadow on or off for a clearer edge.
- Click Copy to copy the current screenshot to the clipboard.
- Click Save to save the screenshot locally.
- Click Close to end the pinned display for that screenshot.
Success Criteria
- UI state: When the pointer moves over the screenshot, the management options appear in the upper-right area.
- Next actions: You can copy, save, or close the screenshot as needed.
- No side effects: Closing the pinned screenshot does not stop other apps from running.
Tips While Using
- Common mistakes: If the pointer is not over the screenshot area, the upper-right controls may not be obvious.
- Environment limits: After you close the pinned screenshot, you need to capture it again if you still need it for reference.
