If you write a terrible guide, even the best software cannot save you. Here are some best practices to follow when creating interactive user manuals to keep users engaged.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">Get straight to the point:<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\"> When a user opens your guide, they are trying to solve a problem, not read an introduction. Cut every word that does not directly help them take the next step. A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/blog\/how-to-create-tooltips\/\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">tooltip<\/span><\/a><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\"> that says &#8220;Welcome to the Reports tab!

This is one of the most important <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/blog\/ux-best-practices\/\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">UX best practices<\/span><\/a><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\"> you can adopt.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">Show, don&#8217;t just tell:<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\"> Whenever possible, replace text with an image, a GIF, or a triggered in-app action. If you want a user to click the Settings gear, don&#8217;t write a paragraph describing where it lives. Use a tool like Userpilot to place a spotlight directly over it and reduce <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/blog\/friction-points\/\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">user friction<\/span><\/a><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\"> caused by ambiguity before it becomes a drop-off point.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">Track the data and iterate:<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\"> You cannot launch a guide and walk away. Monitor your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/userpilot.com\/blog\/essential-customer-success-kpis\/\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">customer success KPIs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">, e.g., if 80% of users drop off at step four, step four is broken. Gather data through automated customer feedback collection, test a new variation, and watch how the metrics change.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\">Don&#8217;t overwhelm the user:<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit;\" data-color=\"transparent\"> Triggering a massive product tour the second someone logs in is one of the most common mistakes product managers make, and it annoys people.
