How to make an SOP in Chrome

Make an SOP in Chrome

1. Open the side panel

   Add Capture from the Chrome Web Store, then click its icon in the toolbar to open the side panel.

2. Do the task once while recording

   In the side panel, choose Record, pick the tab and go through the process the way it should be done. Press Stop at the end.

3. Make a guide and say what it's for

   Press Make a guide under the recording. Give the guide a title and fill in What is this guide for?, so readers know when to use it.

4. Write and check each step

   Give every step a short instruction and, where it helps, a note. Delete detours, reorder steps and blur names, emails and numbers.

5. Hand it out

   Export a PDF, free up to 10 steps. With Capture Pro, save Markdown with the images for your wiki or knowledge base, or share a link for 1, 7 or 30 days or until you delete it.

• When the process changes, open the guide, choose Add steps from a recording, and insert the new steps or replace the old ones. Each step shows when it was captured, so you can see which parts are oldest.
• With Capture Pro, earlier versions of the guide are kept, so you can go back to one.
• Guides come from tab recordings made with the extension: Capture notes where you click in the tab you record, not in a window, your whole screen or a desktop app. It never records what you type or what the page says.
