Not replaceable. What stays with you: decisions about scope, priority, and what the user actually needs. What scales: the mechanical work of drafting from sources, regenerating after change, and organizing raw material.

Setup, once
- Create account and connect staging URL15mSign up for Screenshotbot and point it at your staging environment's base URL.
- Define the screen list to track20mList the routes or pages that appear in documentation so the tool knows what to capture.
- Set viewport sizes10mConfigure capture at your actual breakpoints, for example 1440 desktop, 768 tablet, 375 mobile.
- Run the first baseline capture15mTrigger an initial full capture so future runs have something to diff against.
- Schedule recurring or deploy-triggered runs10mSet the capture to run nightly or hook it to your deploy pipeline so diffs show up automatically.
- Save the triage prompt5mStore the standing prompt below in your notes app so you can paste flagged screens into it each morning.
The standing prompt
I'm reviewing UI screens flagged as changed by our screenshot diffing tool. Doc folder for reference: [DOC_FOLDER_PATH]. For each screen in this list, tell me: 1) what element likely changed based on the diff description, 2) which doc pages in that folder probably reference this screen, based on filename or URL pattern, 3) priority to review today: high, medium or low. Screen list: [SCREEN_LIST]

Covers: Uses AppScreens to create and customize App Store screenshots from templates, then uploads them.
Skip 'Screenshot requirements' if you're already familiar with App Store screenshot specifications.
What it will not do
It will not tell you whether a visual change is cosmetic or a real functional shift worth documenting. It will not know which doc page to edit unless you map screens to pages yourself. It will not capture screens that sit behind auth flows you haven't configured credentials for. It will not judge whether a redesign matches your style guide.
Done when
A UI change shipped yesterday shows up as a flagged diff in Screenshotbot this morning, before a reader emails you about a wrong screenshot.
