Capturing screenshots​

There are many ways and programs to capture screenshots, here we'll outline a few.

Capturing screenshots on Windows​

The easiest is to use the Snipping Tool for capturing screenshots.

First, write "snip" into the search bar, and select the "Snipping Tool" from the results.

Next, select the "Rectangular Snip" mode. This allows selecting the area on the screen that you want to include in the screenshot.

Then click on the "New" button, and select the area you want to capture. Please also include the browser's address bar in the screenshot.
