To emphasize details of your screen or clearly show where you clicked, cropping a screenshot can be helpful. Follow these steps to crop your screenshot in FlowShare.
Crop one slide automatically
Select the slide you want to crop.
Click on the Crop icon selecting this symbol:
When you hover your mouse over the screenshot, FlowShare automatically detects window hierarchies and suggests an image sections (dotted frame).
Click within the frame to confirm the suggested crop. Everything outside the selected area will be shaded and will not appear in the final export.
Crop one slide manually
If you prefer, you can manually select the crop area.
Click on the screenshot and drag the selection box to the desired size.
Once you release the mouse, the screenshot will be cropped automatically.
Everything outside the selected area will not be included in the final export.
You can modify the cropped area at any time by dragging the edges of the image to resize or reposition it.
To undo the cropping during editing or anytime later, simply click outside the crop selection.
Crop multiple slides in bulk
If you want to apply the same cropping to multiple steps, you can use the Multi-Crop feature by clicking on the corresponding icon:
Note! The Multi-Crop icon works only after you have made a single crop!
Once you confirm the crop for a single slide, clicking the Multi-Crop icon will open a Auto Crop dialog, allowing you to apply the cropping automatically across multiple steps in your project. See some options for bulk cropping:
Only crop steps created in a specific application:
For example, if the cropping was applied in chrome.exe, the auto-crop will only target steps created within that application.
If you uncheck this option, the cropping will be applied across all applications, not just chrome.exe.
Apply cropping to:
All steps in this project:
This option applies the crop to all the steps in the current project.All new steps (since last opening):
This applies the crop only to steps that were created after the project was last opened.All steps in this section (between two headings):
This applies the crop to all steps within the current section, as defined by the headings in your FlowShare project.
This feature saves time by ensuring consistent cropping across multiple steps, especially in larger projects, while still allowing flexibility to target specific sections or steps.
