Document image editing, hosting and screenshot capture

PR #530 · merged 1 week ago

Orrin can now edit existing images: pixelate sensitive regions, add arrows and resize. External images are copied so links keep working, and explicit screenshot requests are honored across multi-step guides.

The problem

Sound familiar?

Product changes move quickly. Help content tends to move on its own schedule, and the gap between the two is where customers get stuck.

  • 01

    Screenshots age within a sprint

    A redesigned settings page quietly breaks every guide that shows it. Nobody notices until a customer does.

  • 02

    Release notes never reach the docs

    Engineering ships the change, but the article that explains it waits in a backlog for weeks.

  • 03

    Writers guess at what changed

    Without a clear record of each change, writers rebuild the new behavior from memory and pull requests.

Works with your tools

Write where your team already works.

Features

Everything a help center needs, none of the upkeep.

  • Drafts from release notes

    Every merged change becomes a draft article with the new steps, ready for an editor to approve.

  • Search that reads like a reader

    Results rank by what people actually ask, with synonyms for the words your product uses.

  • Reviewable updates

    Each edit arrives as a diff with the source change attached, so reviewers see what moved and why.

  • Answers in your assistant

    Publish the same articles to an in-app assistant that cites the page it used for each answer.

  • Broken link checks

    Links, anchors and embedded screenshots are tested on every publish and flagged before readers see them.

  • Styled to your brand

    Set colors, type and layout once. Every article and screenshot follows the same rules.

What changes for your team.

  • Support

    Fewer tickets about steps that changed.

    When an interface moves, the article that describes it is already in review. Customers stop reporting the same confusion.

  • Product

    Launches ship with docs attached.

    Release notes become drafts the same day a feature merges, so the help center lands with the feature instead of weeks later.

  • Writers

    Time goes to the hard pages.

    Writers spend their hours on conceptual guides and edge cases, while routine screenshot and wording updates happen in review.

Teams that stopped chasing their docs.

  • We used to learn that an article was wrong from a support ticket. Now the update is waiting in review the same day the feature ships.

    Head of Support, Lanthorn

  • The screenshot refresh alone paid for the first quarter. Our writers stopped redrawing the same three menus every sprint.

  • Migration was boring in the best way. The import matched our folders and the first drafts were close to right.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Still unsure about something? Send us a note and a person on our team will reply within one business day.

  • Cairnbook reads the merged pull requests and release notes connected to your product. When a change touches something a published article describes, it opens a draft update for an editor.

  • No. The first draft of most articles is generated from release notes and your existing pages. Editors refine the wording and approve each change before it is published.

  • Yes. Every automatic update is a proposed change with a visible diff. Nothing is published until someone on your team approves it, and you can require two reviewers for chosen sections.

  • Cairnbook captures screenshots from a staging copy of your product and replaces outdated ones when the interface changes. You can pin any screenshot to stop automatic replacement.

  • Yes. The migration tool reads articles from the most common help platforms and maps your folders to categories. You review the first drafts before anything goes live.

  • Article content and screenshots are stored in the region you choose during setup. Your articles are never used to train models, and you can export everything at any time.
