Active window area is the window of an application that you are currently working with. This feature is helpful when you create interactive simulations, in which there are specific windows that you want to capture or export.

For example, you want to create a manual about how to create a new project in Saola Animate by recording interactive simulations. After recording, you will receive a slide-based project. By using the active window feature, you can emphasize crucial information. Active Presenter 10 will detect the area you are working in so that users can follow easily. Then, the app allows you to export the active window only in document format.
