Feature Update as of July 2025:

This is where you'd announce if there's been an update to a feature so that customers know something has changed.

This will not be used on every article, but will be used quite a bit as the different products are making updates to their systems.


πŸ“ Overview

This is an overview of what the main parts of an article should look like. There will be additional titles/aspects added based on the content, but this is a great starting point for the aspects that we standardize.


πŸ” Authorizations

This is the section where you add in anything the customer needs to know about specific authorizations needed to access whatever feature the article is about.

Always make your instructions clear, and include screenshots to make it easier for the customer to understand.


πŸ› οΈ Setup

This is the section where you may have some different sub-titles that are needed. Below are a few examples.

πŸ“ Where

Same type of concept here, not going to write too much in the description.



πŸ“Š Reporting

This section may not be applicable to every article. Depending on the report, you can either list it here with a description and a screenshot, or you can link out to a larger reporting page if one exists. Here's an example: Dash Booking Reports


πŸ‘©β€πŸ’» Customer View

Add a quick description here and then depending on what this looks like for what you're working on, you can add in step by step instructions for how to view this within a collapsable section, or solely include pictures (ex: screenshot of an email sent out to a customer).
