We’ve gone deep into how standards are captured, refined and accessed – making the whole process faster, cleaner and more flexible for teams working across web and mobile.
From a fully rebuilt Chrome extension to platform-agnostic video SOPs and a new way to turn existing videos into ready-to-use standards, there’s a lot here! And we’ve made it easier than ever to get help when you need it. Plus, we’ve added Arabic to the platform.
Here’s everything that’s new.
Chrome Extension: Rebuilt from Your Feedback [Update]
The Chrome extension is where on-screen processes get captured. So it has to be fast, reliable and professional. We’ve overhauled the entire experience this month.
- Redesigned interface – cleaner, more intuitive and smoother to use. You focus on the process, not the software
- Test your audio before recording starts – no more discovering low sound after the fact
- Full trim control after recording – remove what doesn’t add value and blur anything sensitive on screen
- Restart recording if something goes wrong – no wasted effort
- Play steps directly in edit mode – faster reviewing and easier refinement
AND Upgraded PDF output – with AI-generated step thumbnails with multiple options per step, zoom, adjust and annotate for clearer visual standards.
Mobile Video SOP: Clearer Capture at the Point of Work [Update]
Capturing standards on the shop floor demands clarity and confidence. We’ve made focused improvements to mobile video SOP capture this month.
- Audible beep countdown before recording begins – so you know exactly when you’re live, no ambiguity
- New clarity screen before recording starts – which guides you on how to narrate each step properly for stronger, more useful standards
- Improved PDF thumbnail control – that allows you to select the best frame per step, zoom in or out to highlight the exact detail that matters, and annotate as needed
Platform-Agnostic Video SOPs: Capture Anywhere, Refine Anywhere [Update]
Video SOPs are no longer tied to where they were created. The process now adapts to you, not the other way around.
- Record on web, edit on mobile – or record on mobile, edit on web. It works both ways
- Full editing functionality available across both environments
- Generate structured, printable PDF SOPs from either platform – consistent output quality wherever you work
Video SOP Upload: Turn Existing Videos into Standards Fast [New]
Sometimes the standard already exists – it’s just sitting in someone’s camera roll or on a shared drive. Now you can put it to work.
- Upload existing videos from mobile or web – no re-recording, no workarounds
- Automatic step breakdown – the system does the heavy lifting
- Generates a printable, structured PDF SOP ready for the floor
Improved Help & Support: Built Into the Experience [Update]
Support is no longer something you have to hunt for. We’ve made it visible and accessible across the platform on both web and mobile.
- Help tray available from the question mark icon or support link in the menu – always a click away
- Smart help search – quickly find help articles without digging
- Direct bug and improvement reporting – straight to the development team, the fastest way to get issues resolved
- Connects to the support hub, the Lean Cave and upcoming webinars – everything in one place
New Language: Arabic
GembaDocs continues to grow its global reach. Arabic-speaking teams can now create and follow standards in their native language.
- Arabic now available across the platform
- Supports teams working in Arabic as their first language
- Continues our expansion into global markets
