Do I Need Special Skills to Use MagicHow to Create Step-by-Step Guides and Other Instructions?
No, you don't need any special skills to use our tool. It's intuitive and easy to use. Although reading a short manual is recommended, you can also learn by practicing. Once you've created your first guide, you can consider yourself a skilled user. You don't even need to be experienced in creating presentations and other visual products. Our tool will break down the process into steps, offer you titles, and write descriptions. All that is expected from you is to make some amendments to customize your how-to guide, instruction, manual, or training materials.
Can I Use MagicHow on My Laptop, Desktop, Tablet, or Smartphone?
You can use MagicHow on any device you find convenient, as we have two versions of the tool: the desktop and the browser. The browser version is compatible with Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari. All versions have all the features necessary to create an informative and visually attractive step-by-step guide. With all versions, you're expected to spend up to five minutes creating the short instruction and about fifteen minutes for a medium-length one. All versions of MagicHow have an intuitive interface, perform quickly, and provide you with the same high-quality results.
How Can I Create a How-to Guide with MagicHow?
To create an instruction, a manual, or other guiding document, you should go through the process you describe. A program will document every step you make and compose a comprehensive and illustrative guide. Here is your course of action:
Sign-up on MagicHow and Install Browser Extension (Chrome, Firefox, Edge)
Start the recording process.
Review an automatically created guide and edit it if needed.
Share a guide with a link, download it as PDF, copy it as HTML or Markdown, or embed it.
Your guides and instructions are visible in the dashboard, where you can organize them most conveniently.
How Can I Edit My How-to Guide?
There are several features available to improve your instruction: make it clearer, more focused on important details, and aligning with your target audience's perceptions. You can use the following options to customize your guide:
edit descriptions and add tips;
blur sensitive data;
add annatations and notes;
play with colors and fonts.
You can make changes either right after recording or later on. If you share the link or embed your guide, it will update as soon as you add changes to the original document.
How Can I Deliver My MagicHow Guide to My Audience?
You can choose the most appropriate option from a few alternatives to reach out to your readers most effectively. Here is a list of opportunities:
Share a link. It can be done the same way as sharing a Google Docs link. Your guide’s visibility will match your access settings: you can either provide access to everyone who has a link or particular persons.
Collaborative access. Share project or guide with your colleagues, trainees, stakeholders, customers, and anyone else involved.
Download a guide as PDF. This option is the most suitable for keeping a guide intact. Users will be able to view your step-by-step guide on any device and operating system.
Copy as HTML or Markdown. You can paste this piece of content to a third-party website retaining its formatting. Pay attention: when using this option, the shared content doesn’t change if you amend the original document.
Embed your guide. You can integrate your content into Confluence, Guru, Notion, Zendesk, Wordpress, and other digital environments for sealess collaborative work.
With all mentioned options under your belt, you can send your how-to guide directly to your audience quickly and easily.
