Screenshots are useful for speed but weaker than native exports when authenticity is challenged. Prefer original emails, PDF statements, CSV downloads and platform data exports.
When screenshots are unavoidable, capture full screens with URLs, usernames and system clocks visible. Avoid heavy markup that obscures underlying content.
