Like many other features, taking a screenshot on a Chromebook is not clearly explained in any manual. Users usually have to do a Google search to find out how to take a screenshot. Google is attempting to make this procedure more intuitive by adding it to the menu.

How to take a screenshot in Chrome OS
Aside from the previous ways, you can now find the option in your Chrome menu. Simply hit the Chrome menu button, go to “More tools” and click on “Take screenshot”.
