6 min readProblems first, features second
These articles are organised by the problem you have rather than the setting you would change: tickets that repeat, lessons that take a day to edit, bug reports nobody can reproduce, updates that should not have been a meeting. Each one shows the recording workflow that fixes it and links to the feature that makes it quick, for example support videos that reduce tickets or screen recording for developers. For a use case that ends in a written note, how to write release notes shows where a short recording fits.
Record the next one properly
