Prepare the recording

Close unrelated tabs and hide personal or confidential information. Start on the page where the task begins. Use a readable browser zoom and leave enough time for each screen to load.

Record the task

Choose Screen or TabExample with sample data
Source UI example: the connected Chrome extension, ready to record. Choose Screen or Tab, then Start. Screen opens the browser source chooser; Tab records the active tab.

IPPO extension recorder with Screen selected, a Tab option, Start and Open side panel controls.

Source UI example: the connected Chrome extension, ready to record. Choose Screen or Tab, then Start. Screen opens the browser source chooser; Tab records the active tab.

  1. Open the IPPO extension on the tab you want to capture. If you select another target tab, switch to it and reopen IPPO there.
  2. Press Start. Complete any screen or tab permission prompt shown by Chrome.
  3. Perform the task in a clear sequence. Use Pause to suspend recording and Resume when you are ready to continue.
  4. Press Stop when the task is complete. In the review panel, check the captured steps and rename, reorder or remove steps as needed.
  5. Choose Save to Captures to keep the recording in your library, Import to project to add it to a project, or Import & generate guide to create a guide. Select the project and guide language when requested.
  6. Confirm the selected outcome: Save to Captures uses Save capture; Import to project uses Import capture; Import & generate guide uses Import & generate. Stopping alone does not upload the recording. Keep the browser open until the save or import-started confirmation appears.
  7. Open Captures or the destination project in the web app and check the result. If you selected generation, follow its progress in Videos.

Confirm that the recording shows the intended window and the complete task. If a prompt was cancelled or capture was blocked, resolve the permission issue and make a short test recording before repeating a long workflow.
