|

|
8. Once you click on the extension, you'd be redirected to an edit page. You'd see that iorad took a screenshot each time you performed an action, and that you can make all kinds of adjustments and edits to each step. |
|
9. iorad will fill in and apply a text description to each action that you took, if you're looking to modify the text descriptions, then you can also edit the texts in the left sidebar. You can also change the text color and add hyperlinks.

|
10. You will notice that iorad places a highlight around the area of the screen where the action happened. In this case it is a "click." This highlight tool can be dragged to be made bigger or smaller and even moved around if this is not the right area
|
|
11. As you go through the steps, there may be sensitive material on the screen. You can use our Mask Content tool to hide any areas on the screen you wish. Click it here

|
12. You will then be prompted to select whether you want to Blur, Pixelate, White Out and choose a color to box out the area on the screen.
