Create and record a new storyboard.

Note: Authorizing and promoting storyboards must be done through the Author Client.

Procedure

Note: If you do not select a storyboard folder then the storyboard will be created in the root.

3.Click Record new storyboard.

4.Type a name for the storyboard in the Storyboard name field.

Note: It is useful to provide a title that describes the overall process that you are recording. You can also choose a different language to create the storyboard in from the language drop-down field.

5.To change the owner and/or author of the storyboard, delete the existing owner or author first, and then click in the relevant field and start typing the name of the new owner or author. When the name of the user appears in the suggested list, click the user to add them.

6.Click START RECORDING.

You are now ready to start recording the steps of the storyboard.
