# Ensure Tooltips Appear In Screenshots

I use [CleanShot X](https://cleanshot.com/) for all my screenshot needs. It's by
far the best tool for the job.

I'm a big proponent of taking high-context screenshots. That is, including
everything in the screenshot that another person viewing it would need to know
so that they don't have to answer follow up questions. This usually means other
parts of the window besides the focal point or including the URL bar.

Another, less common, aspect of a shot I sometimes need, especially in a
browser, are hover-based visual elements. That could be a tooltip or the option
in a dropdown the cursor is over. Sometimes it is even a visual element that
goes away after a beat.

To capture these with CleanShot X, I need to turn on the "Freeze screen when
taking a screenshot" setting which can be found in _Settings_ under the
_Screenshots_ tab in the _Capture_ section.
