Everything Your Need

There are a few things I like most about it. It’s incredibly intuitive and takes hardly any time to learn. I also love that it’s online, works across platforms, handles its own backups, and grades the readability of each page.

Great Tool for Online and Printed Outputs

I like that I can create and manage my documentation online with ClickHelp without downloading any additional apps since ClickHelp is a browser-based solution. Plus, I like that ClickHelp is a complete tool, so I don’t need to buy any additional packages.

Excellent Experience

ClickHelp matches all my team’s needs. First of all, it didn’t take much time to learn this tool – it’s so easy to start work. Just open your portal, click Create a Project, and then you’ll see the WYSIWYG editor (I’m sure it’s familiar to you). That’s all! Also, I like that this tool adapts to my team’s workflow. Every documentation team is different, and their workflow is different. ClickHelp is totally flexible since statuses and available transitions between them are adjustable.

See it in Action!
