Write the Docs podcast episode 33: Simplified user interfaces
Показать описание
One of the most challenging and frustrating things about being a tech writer is managing screenshots in your product documentation.
How many times have you needed to take complex screenshots of your product and meticulously mark them up with callouts only to be told that a field has changed and you need to do everything again?
It’s SO frustrating and demoralizing as a writer because it feels like wasted effort!
What if there was a way to create screenshots that could withstand the rapid iterations of a product under development while still conveying valuable meaning to your readers.
Today we’re joined by Anton Bollen from TechSmith who is going to tell us how we can do this using low-detail screenshots that let you focus your users’ attention on just the bits of the interface that matter.
