  5. Once you've completed the process, click the "Stop Recording" button in the sidebar or click the Waybook Chrome Extension icon to bring back the sidebar to select it.

How to Edit Shots

Once you stop recording, you'll be taken to the SOP that you have recorded and can review and edit your recording.

  1. On this page, you'll see a list of all the process steps you have documented running down the page.

  2. Set the title for this SOP you have created and add a description for the Shot below.

  3. To edit a step, select the header to change the screenshot title. Under the screenshot, you can add a caption to provide more detail and information.

  4. Feel free to move the order of screenshots or add a text step - you'll find the option to do so under the last recorded screenshot.

  5. Once the Shot is finalized, scroll down to the bottom of the page and either export it as a Markdown, share the link with the team, or add it directly into your Waybook.
