Creating a how-to guide with the Tango plugin in Chrome

Tango will now take a screenshot every time you interact with the page and create a basic text description of what you have done

Click on MEI3001 - Advanced MEIing

It will also highlight any buttons that you press

Click on Turn editing on

Tango can't always describe what you have done, so there is some editing required afterwards.&nbsp;

Click on …

Click the Capture Workflow button to begin recording

Start your Tango session with the toolbar button

Note the Tango icon in the top left corner and the green tick in the bottom left

Start the normal steps of the process that you want to create a guide for

When you have finished the process, click the green arrow in the bottom left

Here you can edit the auto-generated descriptions for each step and edit or change the screenshots if needed.&nbsp;

This will take you to the editing screen for your guide

This is particularly useful for capturing instructions about using non-browser software. It requires manual creation and editing of screenshots though.&nbsp;

You can also insert additional steps as required by click the + button

You can then drag and drop next steps around in the table of contents

Like so

When the guide is complete, you can either share it as an interactive webpage

Please note that there is a watermark on each image if using the free version
