Documentation Writing Guidelines

Best Practices

  • Check the spelling and grammar, even if you have to copy and paste from an external source.
  • Use simple sentences. Easy-to-read sentences mean the reader can quickly use the guidance you share.
  • Try to express your thoughts in a concise and clean way.
  • Don't abuse code format when writing in plain English.
  • Follow Google developer documentation style guide.
  • Check the meaning of words in Microsoft's A-Z word list and term collections (use the search input!).
