In my role as a senior technical writer at Orchestrade, I was tasked with crafting and overseeing our documentation for both internal and external stakeholders. Our goal was to offer customers straightforward access to user manuals, troubleshooting resources, and best practices. Additionally, we aimed to bolster internal communication and collaboration among our technical writers and developers.

Yet, we were hindered by our use of Flare, a desktop software. This platform was not only clunky but also lacked essential features. Creating, editing, and publishing articles was a challenge. Organizing content into structured categories, tagging for searchability, and exporting as PDFs were all cumbersome tasks. Plus, we couldn't effectively gauge the performance of our content through analytics.

Given these challenges, we transitioned to ProProfs Knowledge Base, which is a cloud-based solution. This platform empowered us with an intuitive editor and robust CSS customization options, simplifying the creation, editing, and publishing processes.

Organizing content became a breeze, and the tagging system improved searchability.

Additionally, the ability to export content as PDFs and access detailed analytics transformed our documentation approach.
