ScreenSteps 2.8 Released

We are happy to announce that ScreenSteps 2.8 is now available for immediate download. We would like to thank our great customers who provided lots of feedback during the beta testing phase. It really helped improve the product. Let’s look at what is new in ScreenSteps 2.8.

Revamped UI

Our major focus with version 2.8 was revamping the UI. We felt there were a number of areas that needed to be cleaned up in order to make the UI cleaner and more enjoyable to author in. We really like how it turned out. We hope you do too.

Linking To Lessons Is Fun To Do

The URL dialog received a lot of attention in version 2.8. It is now the Link dialog and sports a couple of new options. For starters you can now specify that a link should open in a new browser window when the lesson is exported in HTML format (HTML, Blog/Web or ScreenSteps Live).

The big new feature, however, is that you can now easily link between lessons in the same manual. When editing a lesson that is part of a manual the new Manual Lesson tab allows you to select other lessons in the manual to link to.

Links between lessons are preserved when you export a manual to any format – Word, PDF, HTML or ScreenSteps Live.

Enhancements and Bug Fixes

Version 2.8 contains over 40 enhancements, changes and bug fixes. We always try to make little changes here and there that improve the program but aren’t necessary newsworthy. Getting known bugs fixed so they don’t interfere with your work is always a major focus as well.

You can read all about what is new in this version by reading the release notes.
