Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Ooooo, I didn't know that the Snip tool had one - thanks!
Look into Greenshot and you will quickly forget about any built in screenshotting and snipping capabilities of windows.
I literally only ever take a screenshot and maybe crop it. What functionality could it possibly provide that I care about?
For one, it's much more lightweight and responsive than the built in tools (old and new).
Beyond that you can add Paint level graphics as objects to images, so you can highlight better in documentation.
You can also use it to copy and paste between apps and websites that would otherwise not handle clipboard properly, like say copying between JIRA, Slack and some MS apps, by recovering images as clipboard data instead of copying the image file itself.
ShareX and never look back.
Yeah I didn't know this one either. Every time I see one of these cheatsheets, I learn something new
