Step 2: Capture a Scribe

A Scribe is a step-by-step guide automatically created for any process. To capture a Scribe, all you have to do is turn on Scribe (via either the browser extension or desktop app), walk through your process as you normally would, and turn it off when you're done. How easy is that?!
