What are Screens in zipBoard?

When you review content in zipBoard, you can take screenshots by clicking the camera icon at the top right. Each screenshot becomes a Screen that is ready to review: you can comment, draw and more on it, and you can create as many Screens as you want.

Content type	Windows	Mac
Web URL, visible page	Ctrl+Shift+1	Command+Shift+1
Web URL, full page	Ctrl+Shift+2	Command+Shift+2
