Make one useful thing.
Write the first useful outcome

Give it your context.

Ideas to listen for
Feedback reveals the missing step. Participants describe confusion between seeing a feature and understanding how to begin using it.
A useful walkthrough follows a goal. The discussion calls for clearer demonstrations and a simpler path from invitation to action.
Get unstuck.
Is a feature list enough for onboarding?
A person also needs a goal, a starting point and a way to recognize success. Use the feature list as supporting detail.
Can I use the historical walkthrough as current instructions?
Use current Help for the exact interface. The feedback in this call is useful for identifying what a good walkthrough needs to explain.
For help in your community, open Help → Support Agent and describe the result you want and where you got stuck.
