SCREENSHOT-BASED OR VIDEO GUIDES  — WHAT

IS THE BEST WAY TO EXPLAIN A PROCESS?

VS

THE TWO MAIN WAYS TO DESCRIBE A PROCESS

ARE:

a)a video help library

b)a screenshot-based guide

3 REASONS WHY YOU HAVE TO SAY “YES” TO VIDEO HELP LIBRARY:

#1you need to

present a really complicated

work-flow without a

strict sequence of steps

#2there is no other way to present

the information : only with the

help of video it is possible to illustrate a

continued action

#3you aim to make

your product well-recognized by posting your video tutorial on

respectful video-sharing websites, such

as YouTube

BUT:It is a truly

time-consuming process…

UPDATES ARE INEVITABLE

So be ready to remake

your video over and

over again when the

time comes

NOT SEARCHABLE

In order to find some particular part of the video you have to pause it every second to make sure it’s the right moment

YOU CAN’T PRINT THE VIDEO!

You must be kidding me! I will

miss the game because of the

freaking documentation

again!

VIDEOS REQUIRE TOO MUCH SPACE

WHY SHOULD YOU SAY “YES” TO A

SCREENSHOT–BASED GUIDE?

NO COMPLICATIONS

+ + + =

As simple as that!

WELL-ORGANIZED DOCUMENT

1. Open

2. Found

3. Got Back to Work

Usually people are not very excited to read your manual! They will not perceive it as a

novel! Screenshot-based guides are short and up to the point!

Keep in mind the manual law:

SCREENSHOTS ARE TRULY MOBILE

- You may delete one

step- Replace

the step- Reuse some part for another

manual

Screenshots are boring and less

amusing?

Then high time to pryoritize:

FOR EVERY PLUS THERE IS A MINUS?

fun?usefulness

?

video?screenshot?

SOOOOOO…

time to create and use

less resource-consuming

and laborious
