You can capture an entire tab or a specific window, and all captures are automatically saved to **Drive** for reuse across articles. These steps apply to the Advanced WYSIWYG editor and the unified Editor. The `/Screen capture` slash command works the same way in both. NOTE The unified Editor is currently available for newly created projects. Projects created earlier continue to use the Advanced WYSIWYG editor and the Markdown editor. --- ## Before you begin The screen capture feature requires the Document360 AI Capture extension. The extension only needs to be installed once and is supported on Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Brave. --- ## How to capture a screen from the editor 1. Use the slash command `/Screen capture` and press **Enter**. 2. If you have not installed the **Document360 AI Capture** extension, click **Install** and follow the on-screen steps to complete the installation. NOTE For browser-specific installation steps, see [Installing the Document360 AI Capture extension](/help/docs/install-document360-ai-capture-extension). 3. Once installed, return to the Knowledge base portal. 4. Select the desired screen to capture: - **Browser tab**: Captures only the selected browser tab. - **Window**: Captures only the selected window. 5.
