Information

These rules apply to all sections of your guide.

  • Tone of Voice: Write in a helpful, clear, and direct tone. Assume the reader is a marketer or product manager who may have some technical knowledge but is not an engineer.
  • UI Elements: Bold any user interface elements like button names, menu items, or field labels.
    For Example: "Navigate to Settings > Connectors and click + Add Connector."
  • Placeholders: Use <placeholder_text> for any values the user needs to enter themselves.
    For Example: "Enter your <YOUR_API_KEY> in the Authorization field."
  • Code and Payloads: Use code blocks for API payloads, URLs, or code snippets.
    For Example:
JSON
<sample code>
  • Screenshots: Provide clear, up-to-date, and high-resolution screenshots for each major step. Annotate them to highlight important areas.
    For Example:
    • High Quality: All screenshots must be high-resolution, up-to-date, and clearly legible.
    • Targeted Focus: Crop screenshots to show only the relevant parts of the interface.
    • Annotation Color: All annotations (boxes, arrows, circles, highlights) must be red. This creates a consistent visual language for the user.
      • Use a red box to highlight a larger section or area.
      • Use a red arrow to point to a specific button, link, or field the user needs to interact with.
      • Use a red circle to draw attention to a single, crucial piece of information.
