Record Workflow Documentation

Turn undocumented team processes into watchable recordings that anyone can follow. Video documentation captures mouse paths, keyboard shortcuts, and decision logic that text docs struggle to convey.

Operations teams, technical writers, process owners, and anyone documenting internal workflows for the first time

Step-by-step

  1. 1

    Identify the workflow to document

    Pick a process that at least two people need to follow. High-value targets: anything that requires a Slack message every time someone forgets how.

  2. 2

    Perform the workflow at teaching pace

    Go slower than you normally would. Pause briefly before each step so the viewer can absorb what just happened.

  3. 3

    Narrate each decision point

    When you choose option A over option B, say why. The decision context is the part that gets lost in written SOPs.

  4. 4

    Show edge cases and error handling

    After the happy path, record what to do when something goes wrong — the API returns an error, a field is missing, or an approval is rejected.

  5. 5

    Store in a searchable location

    Upload to Screenify and link from your team's Notion wiki or Confluence page. Tag videos by process name so they surface in search.

Screenify features for this workflow

Keyboard Overlay

Workflows often rely on shortcuts (Ctrl+K, Cmd+Shift+P). The keyboard overlay shows exactly which keys you pressed so viewers can replicate the action.

Cursor Highlight

In complex multi-panel UIs, a highlighted cursor keeps the viewer's eye on the right spot as you navigate between sections.

AI Captions

Searchable transcripts let team members jump to the relevant section of a 10-minute workflow recording instead of watching the whole thing.

Silence Detection

Trims dead air from page loads or slow transitions, keeping the documentation video concise and watchable.
