Inhalt

No matter how carefully you use simple, clear language, you can’t always avoid technical terms. Not all of your users may understand these terms. This can lead to poor user compliance in reading and following the documentation. In some cases, you may need to write a creative analogy to explain an abstract concept. Both of these skills help users understand the content and successfully complete tasks.
