What is a troubleshooting article?

You already nail customer onboarding with Confluence, but where do customers go with specific issues? If you said a helpdesk, hold up! A troubleshooting article is the best place for all those tricky questions. It is clearly documented, easy to comprehend, and packed with extra resources.

Why does your company need a troubleshooting article?

It's great to allow users to self-serve their support needs with documentation, but to do this, you must ensure you are accurately meeting their needs and not glossing over known issues. A troubleshooting article that clearly lays out the exact problem at the top demonstrates that you know how to help them and that doing so is no problem!

Helpdesks can cost time and money, and it can be frustrating for everyone to go over the same issues. By helping customers do the first part themselves to see if they can solve a problem, everyone is happier.

A well-designed troubleshooting article provides a seamless and intuitive user experience, making it easier for customers to use and enjoy your product or service and, hopefully, remain loyal!

What elements should a troubleshooting article include?

Step-by-step content

Use a simple layout like 'Problem' and 'Solution', so customers have at-a-glance confidence in the troubleshooting article and its ability to help.
To make content even more digestible, you can group related problems with tabs so users can easily find the right solution for them.
