Let’s take a look at some of the options you have to choose from. User manuals can be created for many topics and purposes. What are the different types of user manual? They are not meant to be read from cover to cover, but as reference books, so a table of contents should always be included in a user manual.Ī quickstart or startup guide should be included in your user guide so that people can easily feel comfortable beginning to use the product. Use manuals contain detailed, step-by-step instructions for the end user and also allow for some support in troubleshooting. They can be provided in either print or digital format or both! A user manual is designed for an end user to use your product or service properly or to find solutions to problems that arise through use.
You may hear terms like instruction manual, user guide, maintenance manual, or technical documentation but they all mean the same thing.
