Accessing and Managing Recordings in Whale

The Whale application provides functionality to record and store content using the CoCreator extension. Here’s how you can access and manage these recordings effectively:

Overview of Recording Accessibility

Recordings in Whale are commonly created through the CoCreator extension, specifically the Step Recorder or Screen Recorder. Any recordings made through this feature can be accessed directly from the Whale browser extension. You can also find recordings stored within associated cards or playbooks where they were added.

Steps to Access Saved Recordings

  1. Open the Whale browser extension.

  2. Navigate to either the Step Recorder or the Screen Recorder.

  3. Click through the recorder to access your previously saved recordings.

  4. Alternatively, browse through your saved cards or playbooks to locate the recordings associated with those items.

Limitations to Keep in Mind

  • Unsaved Recordings Cannot Be Retrieved: If you record content directly from a platform or card without saving it, the system will not allow you to retrieve it later.

  • Saving Recordings: Always ensure that the recordings you wish to keep are properly saved within applicable cards, playbooks, or via the extension itself.

Best Practices

  • Bookmark or tag your frequently accessed playbooks or cards to quickly locate stored recordings.

  • Regularly check the CoCreator extension to ensure your recordings list is well-organized for ease of access.

With these steps and best practices, managing your recordings in Whale becomes simple and efficient.
