Live Edit–Mark directly on your desktop
Live Edit places a transparent layer like a sheet of glass over your screen. On this layer, you can draw arrows, add text, or highlight areas directly on top of the content you want to explain. Unlike traditional screenshot tools, your screen does not freeze during this process. You can switch back to your Desktop at any time to move windows, adjust content, or let a video continue playing, and then continue working on your annotations. This way, the final screenshot evolves step by step without having to restart the process.
Prepare and create screenshots faster
With Live Edit, multiple screenshots can be prepared and created within a single workflow. Annotations remain visible while you continue working on your Desktop and can be adjusted at any time. Especially with large workspaces or multi-monitor setups, Live Edit provides plenty of screen estate to organize content clearly. The final screenshot is then created directly from the Live Edit view–What you see is always what you get!
