Make the Most of
Subject Matter Experts
and meet your deliverables!
  
Here's a familiar story line: Upcoming implementation, tight deadline, stretched resources, multiple reviewers, limited budget, numerous approvers. Let's say your team is tasked with developing training and documentation within the project time frame. Assuming subject matter expert (SME) availability is scarce, how do you achieve your goals? Here are some classic roadblocks and ways to still meet your deliverables:
 
 
     
RoboHelp's Collaborative Review Feature
 
Even seasoned Adobe RoboHelp authors may not be aware of this software's unique review tool. Content approvers must have Adobe Acrobat in order to edit documents, but once that is in place the benefits really add up!
  • Reviewers make changes, add comments, and see the markup of others.
  • Authors import marked-up PDFs directly into RoboHelp then accept, change or ignore edits. 
No more outputting of Word documents for reviewers and manually inserting changes. Select topics to output to a PDF review and send it on to your reviewers for their feedback.

Who are the Biggest Experts?
