Publish screenshots you'll maintain

Some captures only make sense together: every figure in a manual, every step of a tutorial, every image for one release. This workflow builds that set. Each capture joins the same collection as you make it, so the group stays consistent shot to shot, findable a year later, and re-exportable when the UI moves.

The steps

Section titled “The steps”

Capture → Refine → Organize → Repeat → Deliver

  1. Capture — exactly the control you mean. ⌘⇧C and hover — the unified overlay highlights the pane or window under the cursor, and scrolling steps the selection outward to the next region, or back inward. When you need one small control on its own, drag the region instead — detection works at app scale, not button scale. For menus and tooltips that vanish on click, use delayed capture (⌘⇧D) — the screen freezes and the menu survives. For a page taller than the screen, scrolling capture (⌘⇧W) stitches it into one image.

  2. Refine — annotate in the house style. Pick your convention before shot #1 — say, orange arrows with a white outline at 2px — and each tool remembers its style, so shot #14 matches shot #1 without you thinking about it. Numbered badges keep multi-step figures readable; the Outline color keeps marks legible against any background. Your marks stay editable without you doing anything about it: Sealshot stores every capture as a .seal package, where annotations remain live objects rather than baked pixels.

  3. Organize — add it to the set’s collection, one per manual or per release. Do it as you go and the set assembles itself; do it later and you’re hunting for figure #37 among a year of screenshots.

  4. Repeat — for every figure in the set. This is where the first three steps pay off: each tool still holds your style and the collection is already chosen, so shot #14 takes a fraction of the time shot #1 did — and matches it.

  5. Deliver — export the set. Select the whole collection and write flattened PNGs into a folder in your docs repo, or ⌘S for a single figure. Annotations flatten on the way out; the .seal originals stay untouched in your library.
