Organize your knowledge

A predictable structure makes a growing collection of pages easier to navigate and maintain.

Group by reader goals

Put related tasks together. Separate introductory guides from detailed reference material so readers can choose the depth they need.

Keep navigation focused

Give sections short, recognizable names. Link related pages together and avoid duplicating the same explanation in several places.

A small number of clear sections is often more useful than a deep hierarchy of categories.

Revisit the structure

Look at the questions your readers ask. If they repeatedly miss a page, consider its title and location before adding another copy.
