Between now and June, we're going to write a new Launchpad user guide. This will replace just about everything that we have on the Help wiki at the start of the process.
The aims of this rewrite are:
- Highlight and explain every part of Launchpad.
- Provide a coherent tutorial, the individual pages/sections of which stand alone.
We have a template for user guide pages and a style guide to help make the help wiki consistent.
Structure
Each section of the tutorial will have its own directory on their help wiki: /Teams/ for example.
The wiki home page will link to the contents/overview page of each of these sections.
Each page of the tutorial will link to the previous and next pages.
Style
Primary articles are part of the tutorial's flow: i.e. they are linked using the next and previous links. Secondary are not but are linked from the section ToC and where necessary.
