Editing

Updated 2026-11-14

Open a guide and click Edit. The editor has six tools.

Text
Change the step sentence and add an optional “Why” note. Reset to recorded text brings the original back.
Annotate
Add callouts, arrows, boxes and text labels in three sizes.
Crop
Auto, free or full window. You can apply one crop size to every step.
Blur
Hide private data with a solid block or pixelation. Freshguide suggests areas that look like email addresses or card numbers. Redactions are burned into exported images; your original stays on your Mac so you can change it.
Arrange
Reorder by dragging, merge two steps, split a step, duplicate, delete or insert a blank step.
Preview
See the guide as it will look when exported.

Undo with ⌘Z. Automatic blur suggestions can miss things, so check every screenshot before you share a guide.
