Docs that stay current
Self-updating screenshots
Autodocs guides have self-updating screenshots: each run of the workflow re-shoots every step and refreshes the pictures in the docs written from it.
THE PROBLEM
Screenshots go stale the week after you take them
Every redesign makes a library of guides wrong. Teams re-shoot screenshots by hand, or more often never do. In Autodocs, running the workflow is how the pictures stay true.
Each time a workflow runs, Autodocs re-shoots its steps and refreshes the pictures in every doc written from it, highlights included.
How it works
How does self-updating screenshots work in Autodocs?
- 1
The workflow runs
On demand, on a schedule or as a check.
- 2
Each step is re-shot
The run captures a new screenshot and element box for every step.
- 3
Docs written from it update
In the background, every doc written from that workflow gets the new pictures, highlights redrawn.
- 4
The doc says when
“Pictures refreshed from the last run on …” appears on the doc, with any steps that changed.
Options and settings
Every option, in one table
| Detail | Behavior |
|---|---|
| What refreshes | Only the pictures of steps the article shows. |
| When | After every run of the workflow the doc was written from. |
| Failure safe | A picture that cannot be stored keeps the old one; the run never fails because of it. |
| Docs from text | A doc turned into a workflow names it, so its runs refresh the doc too. |
Who can do what
Permissions
| Who | Can |
|---|---|
| The person who recorded a workflow | Sees its steps, renames it, replays it and deletes it. Workflows are personal. |
| Anyone with access to the Autodocs Drive | Reads the docs there through Drive, Drive search and chatbots that use that Drive. |
AI assist
Where AI helps
AI is used where it saves you work and is always visible: it writes the guide from your recording, and it finds elements that moved during a replay, marking those steps healed. You stay in charge of what gets published.

FAQ
Self-updating screenshots: questions
Can a how-to guide update its own screenshots?
Yes. Each time the workflow behind an Autodocs guide runs, it re-shoots every step and refreshes the guide’s pictures, highlights included.
Do I have to run the workflow for screenshots to update?
Yes, a run is what re-shoots them. Running it on a schedule from an Autobot keeps guides current without anyone thinking about it.
Does it change my text?
No. Only the pictures refresh. Steps where the site changed are listed so you can review the wording, and an Autessa agent can email them to the guide’s owner when you ask it to.
Try self-updating screenshots on a task you do every week.
Record it once in Autodocs. You get the guide for your team and the workflow for next time.
