Collaboration and Teamwork

When creating documentation in a team of technical writers, working together may become a real challenge when using conventional desktop documentation tools.

For example, using Microsoft Word may seem like a good idea – as long as you’re the only person writing the documentation. But what if multiple technical writers need to work on the same user guide at the same time? And what happens when you need to send the resulting document for review to an SME over email? Someone may still be making changes while an SME is doing the review, causing things go out of sync.

BEFORE

Before: write in MS Word, send via email, last minute changes, SME on vacation, where is the latest version?

AFTER

After: write, review, publish, create great documentation
