Creating a Visual Knowledge Base with ScreenSteps Live – Video and Webinar

We have just prepared a new video that shows how you can create a visual knowledge base in under 10 minutes using ScreenSteps Desktop and ScreenSteps Live.

Visual knowledge bases combine images and text to provide clear answers and instructions to your customers and users. Visual knowledge bases have the following advantages:

  • They have full text search – unlike video libraries.
  • They have clear visual information to help users complete tasks quickly – unlike traditional, text-based, knowledge bases.
  • They are easy to update when things change – unlike video libraries.
  • They are faster to create than either a video library or traditional knowledge base.

The video goes through the entire process of creating a visual knowledge base including:

  • Signing up for an account
  • Going through the new account setup wizard
  • Configuring your ScreenSteps Desktop software to post to ScreenSteps Live
  • Posting your first manual to ScreenSteps Live
  • Customizing the design of your ScreenSteps Live site

You can view the video below.

The new account setup wizard on ScreenSteps Live really makes it easy to get your ScreenSteps Live site up and running quickly.
