Description

Multi-step procedures are often needed in Technical Documentation. We use bullet lists, and we also add screenshots and text. We add more information, and readers are more likely to lose track. An Xplain, or as we call it, a series of slides that are freely arranged on a large canvas to spark your imagination. HelpXplain is ideal for embedding slideshows into web pages or technical documentation. You can create animated tutorials and quick instructions in minutes, instead of hours. HelpXplain creates animated screenshots that can be edited and replaced at any time. HelpXplain can also record multiple-page screencasts of programs that are running in autoplay mode, just like a video. It is much easier to record and edit them than creating a video. All Xplains comply with HTML5 and Javascript standards.

Description

LockStep offers a user-friendly and swift authoring interface that incorporates all the integrated editors available in WinSequence Enterprise. It allows for direct image capture using compatible cameras, similar to WinSequence Enterprise. However, LockStep targets smaller businesses that require a straightforward, single-user desktop solution for creating and exporting formatted PDF instructions. Both LockStep and the enterprise offerings share the same data model, making it seamless to upgrade to the enterprise suite when necessary. This upgrade often occurs when there is a demand for a network-capable multi-user solution for writers, the need for electronic work instructions accessible via web browser in the production environment, or when integration with other IT systems is sought. Notably, WinSequence Enterprise maintains the same interface as the LockStep application, ensuring that only minimal additional training is needed to utilize the expanded functionalities of WinSequence. This makes the transition not only smooth but also efficient for users familiar with LockStep.
