How NCapture works
You can use NCapture to collect a range of content—for example, articles or blog posts—that you can import into your project.
1 Display a web page or online PDF in your browser.
2 Capture it with NCapture. NCapture creates a file for each captured web page. The NCapture files (*.nvcx) are stored in a folder in your computer file system.
3 Import the content you captured into NVivo. NVivo lists the NCapture files that are available in the specified folder location on your computer. You can choose to import all or selected NCapture files.
For information on using (or installing) NCapture, refer to the NCapture Help.
