2 Your First Project
Set up a project to organize your screenshots and reports.

Your projects are stored under Documents/FlixyDoc/Projects/{ProjectName}/ with separate folders for screenshots and reports.
Understanding the Dashboard
The dashboard is your main control center, divided into several key areas:
Lists all your projects with a screenshot count badge (e.g., "7 screenshots"). Click any project to load it. Use the search bar at the top to filter by name. At the bottom you'll find Account Settings, License Info, and Reset Password.
Three radio buttons to choose your capture mode: Focused Window Only, Entire Screen, or No Screenshots. Below them, two checkboxes: Enable Click Markers and Require Ctrl+Click for Markers.
Enter a Project Name and the Capture Directory and Report Path auto-fill. Use the Browse buttons to pick custom directories. Click Save to create the project folder structure.
Three main action buttons:
• Start Monitoring (blue) — Begins capturing screenshots of your selected window
• Preview & Edit Screenshots (teal) — Opens the screenshot review screen
• Export Report (green) — Generates a Word (.docx) report directly
Managing Projects
- Search: Use the search bar at the top of the sidebar to filter projects by name
- Switch: Click any project in the sidebar to load its settings — the project name, paths, and screenshot mode are restored automatically
- Browse paths: Use the Browse buttons next to Capture Directory and Report Path to pick custom directories
- Screenshot count: Each project shows a badge with the number of captured screenshots (e.g., "7 screenshots")
3 Recording a Session
Capture screenshots automatically while you test your application.
Choose a Screenshot Mode
Before starting, select how screenshots should be captured:
| Mode | What It Captures |
|---|---|
| Focused Window Only | Only the application window you selected — no taskbar, no other windows |
| Entire Screen | Your full desktop including all visible windows and taskbar |
| No Screenshots | Disables automatic capture (useful if you only want manual exports) |
Click Markers
Enable Click Markers to automatically draw visual indicators on screenshots showing where you clicked. Use Require Ctrl+Click if you only want markers on intentional clicks (hold Ctrl while clicking).
On the dashboard you'll see the Screenshot Mode card with these options:
Start & Stop Monitoring
- Click Start Monitoring on the dashboard
- A window selector dialog will appear — choose the application window you want to track
- FlixyDoc begins capturing screenshots automatically as you interact with the application
- The button turns red and shows Stop Monitoring
- When done testing, click Stop Monitoring to end the session
4 Reviewing Screenshots
Review, organize, and annotate your captured screenshots before exporting.
Opening the Preview

Five export options across the top:

• Export MP4 — Create video walkthrough Pro
• Export to Platform — Push to Jira/TestRail Enterprise
Locked features show a lock icon with the required tier.
Mark All / Unmark All / Delete Marked buttons, a Frame Delay slider (controls GIF/MP4 speed), and a stats display showing Total: N | Marked: N | Edited: N.
Each card in the grid contains:
- Thumbnail image — Click to view full size in a lightbox overlay
- Edit Image button — Opens the annotation editor for this screenshot
- Editable filename — Rename the screenshot (this name appears in the exported report)
- Include in Export checkbox — Check to include this screenshot when exporting

10 FAQ & Troubleshooting
Answers to common questions and solutions to known issues.
Windows SmartScreen Warning
When downloading or running FlixyDoc for the first time, Windows Defender SmartScreen may display a warning. This happens because the application is relatively new and not yet widely distributed. To proceed:
- Click "More info" on the SmartScreen dialog
- Click "Run anyway" to launch FlixyDoc
This warning will stop appearing once the app builds a reputation with Microsoft's systems.
Can't Connect to Server
If you see a connection error when logging in:
- Check your internet connection
- Make sure you're using the correct username/email and password
- Try again in a few moments — the server may be updating
Screenshots Not Captured
- Make sure the screenshot mode is not set to "No Screenshots"
- If using "Focused Window Only", ensure you selected the correct window in the window picker
- Check that the capture directory exists and is writable
Export Buttons are Locked
Some export options (GIF, MP4, Platform Export) require a higher tier. Look for the lock icon and tier badge on the button. Click the button to see upgrade options, or visit the Pricing page.
