# 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.
