Writing Guidelines For How-To Guides

  • Capitalize the first letter of every word in the guide title.
  • Use second-person pronouns i.e. you, your, etc. in the instructions/steps.
  • It is mandatory to do spelling and grammatical corrections using tools such as Grammarly.
  • Use the italicized font for UI elements i.e. dashboard names, button labels, information fields, etc.
  • Use the exact name and case for the UI elements.
  • Use quotes for a phrase/word if the phrase/word has to be represented as is.
  • Provide a link at the first mention of a new/different topic. For example, if the guide is talking about installing the SmartScanner app, and the WireGuard app is mentioned, then provide the link for WireGuard.
  • Use clear and crisp images.
  • The filename for images should follow the naming convention of every word in lower case, and words separated by hyphens i.e. view-all-programs.png.
