Creating well-structured, engaging documents in Waybook ensures your team can easily access and apply the right information. Here’s how to build effective documents:
Keep Steps Short & Focused
Limit each step to the length of a single sheet of paper to enhance readability and reduce cognitive overload.
Incorporate Dynamic Content
Use headers, brand colors, images, and videos to engage different learning styles. We recommend using at least two node types in each step, such as:
Images: Clarify complex ideas
Tables: Present data clearly
Callouts: Highlight key details
Collapsible Boxes: Organize supplementary info
Use Links for Easy Navigation
Integrate external and internal Waybook links to create a cohesive knowledge base and make your content more accessible.
Assign Document Owners
Designate an owner for each document to ensure accuracy and relevance over time, fostering accountability.
Keep Titles Clear & Concise
Ensure document and step titles are brief but descriptive to help your team find what they need quickly.
Break Up Large Documents
For documents over 20 steps, split them into smaller, more manageable sections using the Move feature.
By following these best practices, you'll create documents that are not only effective but also adaptable to your business’s evolving needs. If you have any questions or would like help optimizing your content in Waybook, let us know - we're happy to help!
