Sample 5: User Manual

AUDIENCE AND PURPOSE: User manuals can be for many different types of users, and come in many formats from simple line by line instructions, in-depth technical descriptions with screenshots of workflow, custom training materials, scripts and series of video, to interactive web pages, and more. The audience could be end users that only interact with basic usage functions and front end, or technical handlers that need a highly detailed specification of how to design using a range of functions.
