How did I create this article?

This article was not created with Clarify - it was created using another application called ScreenSteps.

ScreenSteps is also developed by us, and is like Clarify's big brother. It uses the same authoring editor as Clarify, but it has a web backend so you can create an online knowledge base (i.e. website) for your Salesforce users. You can create individual articles that answer specific questions, or combine multiple articles to explain a more involved process (like getting started with Clarify). I used ScreenSteps to make this article, and it required no coding and no knowledge of HTML - just drag and drop.

If you're interested in learning more about ScreenSteps, and how you can create internal documentation that looks like this article, let us know! You can email [email protected]. You can also check out our listing on the Salesforce AppExchange.
