Prepare your documents

  • Software instructions
  • Maintenance procedures
  • Troubleshooting steps
  • Current product documentation

Before you start

  • Use the current, complete source version
  • Mark the sections, steps, charts, or figures that deserve focus
  • Identify the terms, numbers, warnings, or wording that must remain

A focused path

Start with the task a reader needs to complete

  1. 1

    Name the viewer’s question

    Choose one chapter or task, then name the starting point, desired outcome, warnings, and steps that a viewer must not skip.

  2. 2

    Bring the source that carries the details

    Add the current source and name the sections, terms, figures, or steps that the explanation must preserve.

  3. 3

    Refine the explanation for its use context

    Have the documentation, product, or support owner check labels, version details, warnings, step order, and links to the current manual before people rely on the video.
