# Capturing with screenshot

Learn how to capture high-quality screenshots, preserve key details, and streamline workflow with our step-by-step guide to effective screen capture.

With Capture you can create unlimited number of screenshots with further edit, download, or text adding and share it with other teammates or send them to your tools which you use for a daily work with your team.&#x20;

There are 2 ways to take a screenshot:

* from [the dashboard](https://app.usecapture.io/dashboard/v),
* with [the Capture extension](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/capture-screen-recording/jpcandanmpaeclcpfhadgflmlbhdehjg).

If you prefer not to install the Chrome extension but still want to take a screenshot, it's possible to do it from the dashboard. To take a screenshot from the app, simply click on the 'Take a screenshot' button if your dashboard has no existing captures yet and select what you want to capture.

{% hint style="info" %}
Kindly note that when you record a video without the extension, no technical details will be available.
{% endhint %}

However, when using the extension, you can access all captured technical details alongside the screenshot.&#x20;

Besides, with the extension you can take either a screenshot of the current tab or select area.

The 'Custom size' option is preselected, but you have the ability to modify it prior to capturing your screenshot. The extension will retain your most recent selection for future screenshots.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you capture a screenshot, it does not record any steps. These steps refer to the actions you execute on a webpage while recording a video only.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.aqua-cloud.io/documentation/capture/capturing-with-screenshot.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
