Storyline: How Documentation Makes a Difference

A Real Example of User Impact

A year ago, our onboarding materials were scattered and outdated. New users felt overwhelmed. You could see it in their faces on video calls. That changed the moment our last technical writer rebuilt the documentation. Suddenly, teams got up to speed in days instead of weeks. Our support inbox got quieter. Engineers started referencing our guides as the gold standard. That’s the impact we’re hoping you’ll make—and more.
