Creating and Editing Mattermost User’s Guide

This document describes the best practices for creating Mattermost documentation for end users.

Follow these steps:

1. Start the document by describing the benefits of the feature for end users (please see this example).
2. Proceed to explain how to use the feature - use short bullet points as well as screenshots as applicable.
3. Include useful tips as applicable.

If a document includes multiple features that are related to each other, order them based on which functionality is used the most, e.g.: how to attach files > file previewer > sharing public links.

Additional Instructions if Editing an Existing Document

1. Start fresh - begin by writing a draft in a Google document from scratch.
2. Compare to the original document to add any important information or tips that you forgot to include in your draft.
