Create and Reuse Snippets

A snippet can be created in three ways.

  1. From a selection of steps:

    (must be steps that can be grouped and not a single Group step)

    1. Select one or more steps and click Create Snippet from Selection on the Edit menu.
    2. Enter a name for the new snippet.
    3. Create a snippet of that name containing the select steps.
  2. Turn a group step into a snippet step:
    1. Select a Group step and click Convert Group to Snippet on the Edit menu.
    2. Enter a name for the new snippet.
    3. Create a snippet of that name containing the group steps.
  3. Create a snippet from a new snippet:
    1. On the File menu, select New Snippet.
    2. Enter a name for the new snippet.

      An empty snippet appears in your project and the Snippet editor opens.

      You cannot edit the snippet contents (the steps inside the snippet) inside this editor.

    3. Edit the description and referenced variables list as needed.
