Put it into practice
- Choose related states from the same workflow.
- Place the earlier step first in the intended reading direction.
- Use matching frame size and finish.
What this looks like
A search screen leads to a selected result rather than to an unrelated profile page.
A detail to keep clear
Avoid showing steps in a way that suggests a transition the product cannot perform.
Using MockupX
Device frames, output dimensions and source screenshot dimensions are separate choices. A phone frame on a square canvas is useful for social sharing; it is not automatically an accepted app-store upload. Check orientation, fit and output pixels independently.
Check the result
Keep the original screenshot, then review the exported file at the size where people will see it. Check the message, the visible interface and the final crop separately. For a handoff, record the destination and the approved file so another person can distinguish the final version from a draft.
References and further reading
Use the official references for format behavior and current destination requirements. The composition advice above is a practical design approach, not a promise of platform approval.
