How to Write Shareable How-Tos

Well-written how-tos save time and prevent mistakes. Here’s a simple structure you can reuse.

Start with the Goal

Define what the reader will accomplish and what they’ll need.

Step-by-Step

Break the process into numbered steps with short sentences. Add code blocks where needed.

Include Troubleshooting

List 2–3 common errors and fixes. This prevents dead-ends.

Keep It Short

Focus on what matters, and link to deeper docs when necessary.

Clear how-tos become go-to references for your team or community.
