## Detailed info

## What is Quartz Studio?

Quartz Studio is a Windows documentation app that turns captured desktop actions into guides, support reports, and procedures.

## What Quartz Studio does

Quartz Studio captures screenshots manually or as the user clicks during a session. Its editor combines steps, descriptions, images, and annotations into structured documents. Local OCR, blur, and privacy review help users inspect sensitive information before export.

## Who Quartz Studio is for

IT teams, helpdesk professionals, customer support, QA, operations, training, and technical documentation teams can document Windows workflows, incidents, bug reproduction steps, and internal procedures.

## How Quartz Studio works

The user starts a session, chooses full-screen or active-window capture, and performs the workflow. Captured steps can be reordered and edited with descriptions, text-only steps, local images, and placeholders. The user annotates and reviews the document before exporting it or saving an editable package.

## Key features

- Manual and assisted capture record steps within a user-started session.
- Full-screen and active-window capture offer different screenshot scopes.
- The structured editor supports sections and editable step descriptions.
- Annotations include arrows, numbers, notes, highlights, and magnifier areas.
- Blur zones hide sensitive screenshot areas.
- Local Windows OCR extracts text from captures.
- Exports include PDF, DOCX, HTML, HTML ZIP, PowerPoint, and Markdown.
