About this project

ShareX Beginner's Guide is a user guide for new users of ShareX, a screen capture, and productivity tool software.

Process

  • Audience Analysis: Identified a focus and audience for the user guide (new users) and created user personas

  • Product Research: Explored the software and studied available resources (YouTube and Discord)

  • User Research: Conducted a card sorting activity with a few friends to get some different perspectives

  • Draft: Drafted the user guide in chunks

  • Peer Review: Edit, edit, edit!

  • Finalize: Added finishing touches (feedback from peers, index, and glossary)

Challenges/Takeaways

  • It was challenging to document software without collaborating with SME's—I turned to ShareX's Discord server and user-created videos in place of talking to SME's

  • My workflow could have been more efficient. After spending time on FrameMaker working on this deliverable, I feel much more confident in using the tool
