Screenshots should show the product's actual behavior. Use neither real personal data nor live credentials to demonstrate protection.

Evaluation approach

Capture real flows with synthetic data and verify that the shown controls exist in the current version.

Application example

A biometric screen should make the approved action understandable.

Limits and considerations

A lock graphic is not evidence of encryption scope or certification.

Do screenshots match the release?

Include them in release review. Retired settings and old interfaces can mislead users. Check notifications and sample data for accidental disclosure.

Checks and decisions

  • Use synthetic data
  • Show real flows
  • Bound claims
