To create a manual that effectively communicates with the reader, it is also recommended to use visuals. Manuals that incorporate visuals such as screenshots, technical illustrations, and videos are more intuitive and easier to understand than those that rely solely on text.

Therefore, here are some tips for creating manuals that convey information visually. *For more details on this column, please refer to the related links.

Avoid omitting subjects and objects, and refrain from using demonstrative pronouns. *You can view the detailed content of the column through the related links.
