How to Take a Screenshot on the iPad

Need to take a screenshot on the iPad? It’s very easy: hold the Power button on the top corner and the Home button on the front bezel concurrently, you’ll know the screenshot was taken because the screen flashes white briefly. This captures the entire screen.
After a screenshot is taken, all screenshots are stored in the Photos app in the image library, if you have iCloud enabled they will also get sent to Photo Stream and synced with other Apple hardware using the same iCloud ID.
