The tool is used by technical writers, software developers, business analysts, and support specialists.

The software includes content management tools, project structure control, and integration capabilities for context-sensitive help. Collaboration through cloud services or corporate servers allows multiple authors to work on one project. Ready-made templates and visual style customization support the creation of online manuals and knowledge bases.
