Web Service / SaaS User Manual Templates

Using a web service user manual template is a great way to save time at the start of a project, especially when creating the initial structure. The topics in your new project will come partially filled with sample text and graphics, allowing you to jump right in and add the specific details about your web service.

The user guide template for web services in Dr.Explain is built on our company's years of collective experience in the field of technical communication. The structure and content within the template are not rigid standards. You are free to modify the template's framework to fit the specific needs of your web service project.

This flexible approach allows you to use Dr.Explain's templates for documentation in a wide variety of fields — from IT and science to education, healthcare, finance, and the service industry.

Based on our extensive experience and analysis of our clients' projects, we have created documentation templates for the most common scenarios faced by IT companies when developing user guides for technology projects and platforms. We hope the templates included with Dr.Explain will be valuable for your projects as well.

If you feel the help authoring tool is missing an additional template that could be useful for you and many other users, please send us your suggestions. We are ready to develop a new template and include it in the program's distribution. We look forward to your ideas at: help@drexplain.com.
