Scribe makes capturing and sharing how-to's effortless. Simply by watching you work, Scribe automatically generates ready-to-share step-by-step guides complete with text and screenshots. Each guide can be customized or shared immediately with a single click.
For viewers, Scribe guides offer a clear and consistent way to learn a new process (or reference an old one!). Adding Scribe guides to Guru gives new hires, customers, and teams access to process knowledge when and where they need it.
Scribe Admins can add Scribes to Guru Cards in seconds by copy/pasting HTML or with Scribe’s Smart Embed feature. With Smart Embed, guides are presented in an engaging, easy-to-navigate iframe within a Guru Card, and updates and changes to the text, images, or processes are automatically reflected.
Obtaining the Scribe embed link
1. Navigate to the Scribe you’d like to embed into a Guru Card.
2. Click Share.
3. You will see a few options for sharing:
Share with a link: Send directly to a teammate, customer, friend, anyone!
Smart Embed: Add Scribes as iframes within other applications, like Guru.
