Creating SOPs should not mean taking 30 screenshots manually
When the work and the documentation happen in separate places, small details get missed. StepWise keeps the guide close to the workflow.

Questions before you create an SOP
What does an SOP generator do?
An SOP generator helps turn a repeatable task into a documented standard operating procedure. StepWise captures browser actions and screenshots as you work, then gives you a guide to review and export.
Can StepWise create visual SOPs?
Yes. Each captured step can include an instruction and screenshot so the final SOP is easier to follow than text-only notes.
Do I need to write the SOP while I work?
No. Start the capture, complete the workflow, and review the generated guide afterward. You can edit the wording before export.
What is the difference between an SOP and a step-by-step guide?
An SOP usually defines the standard way to complete a repeatable process. A step-by-step guide is a broader format for teaching a task. StepWise can support both formats from the same captured workflow.
Make the next SOP from the work itself
Install StepWise, capture one browser process, and start with a visual SOP your team can actually use.
