Screenshot examples
From left to right:
Selection: We selected the section that contained the companies.
Selection: We selected the section that contained the page title and description.
Visible part: What the robot saw when it visited the website.
Entire page: That's the whole webpage from top to bottom.
Capturing selections
When capturing selections from the page, move your mouse around and watch parts of the page get highlighted.
When you've identified the appropriate section, click on it and name your screenshot.
Capturing the entire page
When capturing the entire page, simply choose that option then give the screenshot a name. Since you're not selecting anything, there are no decisions to make besides what to name the screenshot.
Capturing the visible part
As with the Entire page option, the only thing you need to do is give the screenshot a name. The robot will automatically capture the part of the page that's visible.
