Creating and managing product documentation is a cakewalk once you have the right tool. Your product documentation is the first thing customers see even before they start using your product. It introduces them to the product and how it can be used to get the best results.
You cannot afford to go wrong with it.

Besides using the right product documentation tool, it’s also essential for you to understand that building documentation requires detailed product knowledge. The team who directly works on your product’s documentation should have considerable knowledge about the product, to reduce the chances of mistakes.
The documentation represents your product, so ensure that it is free from any errors - language as well as product-specific.
