Get Inspiration from Our Guides on Different Topics for Different Domains

MagicHow is a tool for the creation of step-by-step guides, manuals, SOPs, tutorials, and other guidance documents for the software you use in your everyday practice. The tool enables you to generate guides automatically with minimal effort. Once you install the extension, you perform a task involving the use of software yourself, and MagicHow captures your screen, creates screenshots with descriptions and tips, and compiles all these elements into a comprehensive guide.

You can use MagicHow for a variety of purposes, including:

• Onboarding. Some of the guides can assist new hires in navigating the onboarding process, while others can help employees become familiar with the daily tools used within the company.

• Training. Step-by-step guides and SOPs streamline the learning process, making it more concise and engaging. As a result, you can expect better results compared to text explanations or long videos where you have to scroll through to find specific tips of interest.

• Providing mentorship. Answer your mentees' questions with a single link, directing them to a comprehensive how-to guide that casts light on the topics they are interested in.

• Scaling up a knowledge base. Guides, generated with MagicHow, are compatible with any knowledge base, including Guru, Zendesk, Notion, Confluence, and MediaWiki. You can simply embed your document into a knowledge base or corporate blog to make it accessible to your colleagues, trainees, or clients.

You can use MagicHow as an SOP and guide builder across all industries since there is hardly any industry where software isn’t used. Step-by-step guides, instructions, manuals, and tutorials are especially useful in HR management, customer service, sales, e-learning, software development, project management, and other professional domains.

The tool enables users to create guidance documents in an automated way. You should follow the process you want to describe - in the same way you usually do. Once MagicHow is installed and activated, it grabs a screen, breaking down a process into logical steps, making screenshots, and compiling them into an in-depth visual guide. As soon as the recording process is complete, you can edit your guide by amending auto-generated titles, adding annotations, blurring sensitive data, and changing the guides’ visual style. The final step is sharing, which is quick and easy in MagicHow. You can send your document via email, download it as a PDF, copy a guide in HTML or Markdown format, or embed a document into a website.

You can choose the way of sharing the guidance materials that is most suitable for your goals. The tool empowers users to set the access settings, keeping the balance between the engagement of alarge audience and personalized delivery. Here is the list of options available for sharing the guides generated by MagicHow:

• sending via email;

• saving as PDF;

• copying in HTML or Markdown format;

• embedding documents into a site.

While sharing a direct link in an email, you can set the recipient’s role as a viewer or an editor. The second option allows you to collaborate with your colleagues while creating documents as a team. Two of the mentioned options - emailing a link and embedding a document - enable synchonized changes in documents: your readers see the updated guides as soon as you transform them.

MagicHow is available in two versions: a browser and desktop/laptop version. The browser version is accessible on desktops and laptops. The tool is compatible with the four most popular browsers, including:

The desktop version has an advantage, in addition to the ability to create guides for desktop software, as it allows you to work with the tool even without an internet connection.
