01

Before you begin

Tejumo records actions on Windows and creates draft instructions with screenshots. Automatically generated steps are a starting point, not a finished manual. Check them against the actual screens and actions, and make any necessary corrections before sharing.

02

Find your way around the home screen

The Unorganized flows area at the top contains flows not yet assigned to a folder. Manual structure below shows flows organized into folders. Drag flows between these two areas.

1. Record a new flow

   Select ＋ Record new flow at the top.

2. Open an existing flow

   Double-click a flow, or right-click it and choose Open in editor. Use the search field to find an unorganized flow by name.

3. Understand the inbox order

   Unorganized flows are sorted by most recently updated, then most recently created when update times match. Their order cannot be changed manually.

4. Focus on one manual

   Select a top-level folder from the Manual structure dropdown. Choose Show all to see everything again.

03

Record your actions

1. Name the flow

   Open ＋ Record new flow and enter a flow name, such as “Register a request”. A name is required and may contain up to 100 characters.

2. Choose the recording area

   Select Full screen or Select area. For a selected area, follow the prompt, drag over the screen, and choose Use this area. Press Esc to cancel area selection.

3. Start recording

   Select Start recording, review the five-minute recording notice and confirm. The main window hides and a small recording controller displays the time remaining. Drag a non-button area of the controller if it is in the way.

4. Work in the target app

   Carry out the actions you want to explain. Tejumo records interaction details and screenshots at relevant moments. After a screen changes, wait for it to settle before continuing. Very rapid actions may reduce the accuracy of captured steps and images.

5. Stop or cancel

   Choose Stop recording when finished. Recording also stops automatically after five minutes and creates steps from the actions captured so far. Choose Cancel recording to discard the recording.

04

Review and edit the generated steps

The editor shows the step list on the left and the selected step’s heading, description and image on the right. Target names and screen descriptions may be misidentified; compare them with the real task.

1. Check the flow name

   Edit Flow name at the top if needed. It cannot be empty.

2. Review each step

   Select a step and correct its heading and description. Every step needs a heading.

3. Adjust the number and order of steps

   Use ＋ and － to add or remove steps. Reorder them with ↑, ↓ or drag-and-drop. Remove unnecessary clicks and add missing explanations.

4. Save your changes

   Select Save changes. Confirm that saving completes before returning Home.

05

Replace and annotate images

Select Replace image to choose a recorded screenshot, capture a new area, or use a PNG, JPEG or WebP file. Clear image makes the step text-only.

1. Replace an image

   Choose the replacement method. For a new capture, follow the prompt, drag an area and confirm with Use this area. Review the captured image, then confirm its use.

2. Add text and shapes

   Select Edit image. Choose text or a shape: rectangle, ellipse, line, filled shape, star, target, arrow or block arrow. Change color, line style and thickness where available. Use Select / Move to reposition an object. The text editor offers bold, size and color. Select an unwanted object and press Backspace or Delete to remove it.

3. Hide sensitive areas

   Mask covers an area in solid black. Mosaic pixelates it. Check that the intended information is fully covered before sharing.

4. Apply and save

   Select Apply image edits, then Save changes in the manual editor. Replaced or cleared images must also be saved.

06

Organize a manual with folders

1. Create a top-level folder

   In Manual structure, select ＋ Folder. Enter a name of up to 50 characters and an optional description. Folder descriptions are included in exported manuals.

2. Add subfolders

   Right-click a folder and select Create subfolder…. You can nest folders up to five levels. For example: Equipment request guide → Submit a request → Register an equipment request.

3. Organize your flows

   Drag a flow from Unorganized flows into a folder. Drag it back to return it to the inbox. Within Manual structure, drag folders and flows to change their order, or use the right-click actions Move up and Move down.

4. Edit a folder

   Right-click it and select Edit folder… to change its name or description.

07

Protect a finished manual

Right-click a completed top-level folder and choose Protect. Folders and flows beneath it cannot be edited, moved or deleted. Choose Remove protection when changes are needed. Protected manuals can still be viewed and exported.

Deleting a flow or folder permanently removes its associated recordings and images. This cannot be undone. Make a backup first if you may need the data later.

08 / EXPORT

Export to HTML, PDF, Word or PowerPoint

You can export a single workflow or a manual organized in folders. Right-click the workflow or folder you want to export and select Manual export settings. You can also open these settings from the workflow editor.

Selecting a folder exports that folder and its contents. Choose a top-level folder for the whole manual, or a subfolder for just that part. Export settings are unavailable when there is no content to export, such as a workflow without any steps.

1. Choose the format and content in Output

   Use the Format dropdown to select HTML, PDF, Word (.docx) or PowerPoint (.pptx). Show or hide the table of contents. For the header and footer, choose the document title or enter your own text. Page numbers are available for PDF, Word and PowerPoint.

2. Adjust text and images in Design

   Place images above, to the left or to the right of the instructions, and choose their display size. Adjust the heading color, font family and body text size. HTML also offers Type A, Type B and Type C templates.

   Set heading decorations separately for chapters and workflows: none, band, underline or left border. Choosing none removes the decoration while keeping the heading text. These settings are separate from the titles of individual steps.

3. Add a title and logo in Cover

   Enable the cover and enter a title and description. Choose a logo image, its position (left, center or right) and its size (small, medium or large). Disabling the cover also removes the cover logo from the output.

4. Check the result

   For HTML and PDF, the preview on the right updates as you change settings. Open HTML in your browser for a larger view. For PDF, move between pages to check text, images and page breaks.

   Word and PowerPoint do not support in-app preview. Select Open Word file or Open PowerPoint file to generate and view the file in a compatible application.

5. Save the file

   Select Export manual at the bottom, then choose a file name and location. PDF, Word and PowerPoint are saved as .pdf, .docx and .pptx files. HTML is saved as .html or .zip, depending on the page layout.

Page structure by format

• HTML: Choose one page or pages by folder. For multiple pages, adjust the page breaks to give a folder its own page or keep it on its parent page.
• PDF: Choose automatic breaks or folder breaks. With folder breaks, select the folders that should begin on a new page. Long content still breaks automatically. When there are no eligible subfolders, automatic page breaks are used.
• Word: Text and images are laid out across document pages and remain editable after export. PDF-specific folder page-break selections are not applied.
• PowerPoint: Steps are arranged on slides, with long instructions continued on additional slides. Deeply nested chapter names and workflow names also appear above the steps. The table of contents links to the corresponding content.

Settings, backups and help

Open the three-line Menu button at the top right of Home. Choose Settings, Data management, Subscription status or Help and about Tejumo.

1. Choose a language

   Open Settings, select Japanese or English and apply. This changes the app interface and the language used for newly generated headings and descriptions. Existing text is not translated automatically. The User guide and Official website links also open in the selected language. The contact page remains in Japanese.

2. Adjust step detail

   Move the slider from 0% to 100% and apply. The default is 50%. Lower values tend to combine related actions; higher values tend to retain more individual actions. Some workflows show little or no difference when this changes. It controls how recordings are organized, not recognition accuracy.

Back up and restore

Open Data management. Create a backup to save folders, flows and recording images in a ZIP. Use it before major changes or to move to another PC. To restore, select the ZIP created by Tejumo without extracting it. Restoring replaces the current data at the destination, so review the confirmation carefully.

Check your subscription

Select Subscription status from the menu to check your free trial or monthly subscription.

Help and app information

Help and about Tejumo opens the user guide, contact page and official site. It also shows the app version, privacy policy, terms of use and third-party library licenses.
