So I've done a fair share of technical writing and have always been leary of adding screenshots because I have to then keep them up to date. Anyone else use MadCap Flare, StepShot Guides, or any other technical documentation platforms and embedded images or videos in them?
I'm now thinking of a better way to track the screenshots or videos used in documentation and helpfiles for software companies or even web-based applications.
How it would work is simple:
Is this an issue that you've seen and something you think worthwhile to solve?
Hey @Eharris04,
Did you ever end up finding a tool for this?
I've recently started a similar idea that automatically maintains both images and video, so super curious how you ended up solving this problem :)
I have seen this issue, but I also know a few tools that solve this problem already.
One of them is easyDITA.com, it is based on structured content unlike MadCap. You could publish the new changes everywhere the old content is used. It's pretty impressive!
Thanks for the response. Will check that out and to your point, its not something accessible by MadCap. Maybe not a big enough market for it. Will keep searching.
