Review and approve a recording

Before you can download a recording, you review it: remove missteps, mask anything sensitive, and fix the narration. Then you approve it, and the bundle is built.

Before you start

  • A recording you've stopped. After you stop, it shows Processing while the capture transfers. Click Refresh until it shows Ready for review.

NOTE: Review within 7 days of stopping the recording.

The review screen

The recording review screen with its controls, screenshot and step list numbered 1 to 10
  1. The status: Ready for review.

  2. Show keyframes: shows or hides the timed screenshots between actions.

  3. Approve: builds the bundle.

  4. Delete: deletes the recording.

  5. Before and After: the screen just before and just after the selected step.

  6. The screenshot for the selected step.

  7. How many steps you've excluded.

  8. Sign-in screens are never captured. The list shows the time they covered instead.

  9. Exclude: leaves a step out of the bundle.

  10. An excluded step, crossed out, with Restore to put it back.

Step 1 - Exclude the missteps

  1. Click a step to see its screenshot.

  2. For each wrong turn, such as a menu opened by mistake or a button you had to search for, click Exclude.

An AI agent can't tell a wrong turn from a real step, so anything you leave in, it will treat as part of the task.

Step 2 - Mask anything sensitive

Check each step's screenshot for passwords, keys and personal information, and mask them. Masked text is permanently removed when you approve.

Step 3 - Fix the narration

  1. Scroll to Narration below the steps.

  2. Correct any line transcribed wrongly, or click Remove to drop it.

  3. Click Save narration.

Step 4 - Approve

  1. Click Approve. The dialog summarises what you masked and excluded:

The Approve this recording dialog
  1. Read the dialog, then click Approve.

NOTE: Approving deletes the raw capture and permanently removes masked text. Excluded steps can still be put back later.

The recording changes to Ready to download. See Turn a recording into an SOP, a lab, or documentation.

Change it after approving

On the download page, click Edit again to reopen the review. You can exclude more steps, mask anything you missed and fix the narration, then approve again to rebuild the bundle.

  • Text you already masked stays removed.

  • You can't download the bundle until you approve again.

  • If you don't approve within 7 days, the recording goes back to its last approved bundle and your new edits are discarded.

Troubleshooting

  • The recording is stuck in Processing. The page doesn't update itself. Click Refresh.

  • You excluded the wrong step. Click Restore on it. Or, after approving, click Edit again first.

  • You approved with something sensitive left in. Click Edit again and mask it. If you already downloaded the bundle, delete that copy too.
