Adding Screenshots To Collaborate On
Our Chrome extension also enables you to take a full page screenshot to let your team members or clients see your screen. This is very handy for sharing issues that may have appeared in your browser, yet your team and clients aren’t experiencing them.
To stay organized, we encourage you to add the screenshots you take into the existing Graphics projects.
You can do that by clicking on the ‘Assign a Project’ button under the Image Collaboration.
After that, choose the project name and then you can start adding screenshots. (In case you don’t select/have any existing projects, a new one will be created automatically.)
To create a screenshot, click on the ‘Your View’ button under the Image Collaboration.
Atarim will automatically create a screenshot of your screen and add it as a Graphics Project to our app – so you can share it, add notes or annotations, and collaborate on it.
If you’re on a website that has many screens (a page where you have to scroll), you can click on the ‘Entire Page’ button, and we’ll take a screenshot of the whole page. After that, it will be added to Atarim as a Graphics Project.
Note: Depending on the size of the page, this could take a little longer.
