Editorial draft available to read. Factual and language review is pending. Examples are illustrative.
Decision and scope
Organize an editing manual around frequent tasks, expected results and verification steps. Explain where editing happens, how to preview and who may publish. Do not assume programming knowledge or rely on internal component names that the editor cannot see in the actual interface.
Illustrative example
Illustrative example: replacing an image includes selecting the file, checking its permitted use, writing suitable alternative text and reviewing the crop on a mobile layout. The procedure ends by checking the published page, not merely by clicking save. It also explains what to do when the selected image makes important text unreadable.
Acceptance check
Test the manual with someone who did not write it. Record missing steps and confusing terms. Accept the guide when that person completes the task and recognizes when to ask for help before affecting sensitive commercial content.
Key takeaways
