Elate Extension

Extend your Google Workspace capabilities. Open the Elate side panel at anytime to quickly open and jump between files stored in Google Drive. Use the screen capture and annotation tool to securely take screenshots directly within your organization’s Chrome browser. Capture part of a page, the full web page, or an entire computer screen. Once the screenshot is captured, a suite of comprehensive editing tools allow users to easily box, circle, underline, add comments and free-hand drawings which all can be color-coded for clarity and organization.

All files are securely stored in Google Drive and are configured by default to comply with company policy. Sharing options allow for collaboration directly within the Chrome browser. Download, save, send by email, or share with a link. Prevent data leaks with full audit trails and Data Loss Prevention policies in Google Workspace.

Detailed Screenshot Functionality

1) Take the Screenshot

1a) Select the Type of Screenshot. Choose to select and capture part of the page you are on, the current visible portion of the page, the full page, or your entire screen.

1b) Set a Timer. Delay capturing your screenshot to enable you to prepare your screen to showcase a desired view such as a pop-up, menu selection, bug, or more.

2) Mark up the Screenshot

2b) Create Text Annotations. Control the size of the text, color of the text & text background, and letter boldness. Select from three different font styles. Change the orientation of the text box from horizontal to other orientations using the rotation indicator located above the text box. Choose to add Numbered Steps to your text annotations by clicking the gray circle in the upper left corner of a text box to add a counter. Each future textbox can be added to that series to create numbered steps. Edit the color of the counter in the “number” tab of the Color Selector.

2c) Create Arrows. Choose a single or double-sided arrow. Edit the size, color, and style of the arrowhead and arrowline. Snap arrows to right-angles by holding down “Shift” while drawing.

2d) Create Shapes (Boxes and Ovals). Select the shape tool and choose between an outlined shape or a filled shape. For outlined shapes, change the color and weight of the outline. For filled shapes, change the color and opacity of the fill. For boxes, adjust the corners to be rounded or square. Change the orientation of the shape using the rotation indicator above the shape. For perfect circles, hold “Shift” while drawing an oval. For perfect squares, hold “Shift” while drawing a box.

2e) Add a Freehand Drawing. Use the freehand drawing tool to draw freehand on the screenshot. Choose your color and line thickness.

2f) Use Layers to Select Overlapping Objects. Use the Layers tool (located at the bottom left of the viewer) to easily select between overlapping objects on the screenshot.

2g) Redact Information. Use the redaction tool (indicated by “strike-through eye” symbol) to draw a “blur” effect across portions of the screenshot.
