We're happy to announce the release of our latest product, HelpXplain:

HelpXplain Release Announcement

HelpXplain Product Page

Latest Help+Manual update with HelpXplain support

This new forum section is for all discussions and questions on the HelpXplain tool and its integration with Help+Manual.

IMPORTANT: Please do get the latest Help+Manual update with HelpXplain support before trying to use HelpXplain in your HM projects!

HelpXplain is a completely new way to create enhanced screenshots, animated infographics and step-by-step HowTo tutorials more quickly and easily than ever before. If you've ever struggled with creating video screencasts you're going to love this. Instead of recording a continuous video of what you do on the screen, HelpXplain records a series of normal screenshots and then animates the transitions between them. This means that every stop of your screencast can be edited and replaced later, so you never need to repeat everything because of a single mistake or change. Also, recording is much less stressful: You can wait as long as you like between screenshots and even make changes to the screen while you are recording.

You can also use it to create regular screenshots, animated screenshots, slideshows and interactive presentations, all of which can be embedded in your Help+Manual topics with a couple of clicks.

HelpXplain integrates fully with the current version of Help+Manual 7, provided you get the latest update.

PS: There are still a couple of small glitches in the new website layout, particularly in the header. We're aware of these and they're going to be fixed asap. 8)

I was very impressed with the beta version, and am now running the registered version.
The expanded range of examples is excellent.
Am using the dark gray UI theme - would like to see the orange menu elements replaced with something more sober.
Overall, great job on the new release.
