Project

The work focused on the documentation of applications for kitchen designers “Home By Me for Kitchen Retailers”. This involved supporting the migration of existing documentation in HTML to Docusaurus as well as completely rewriting certain sections.

Documentation migration to Docusaurus v1:

• Definition of the new architecture and process
• Conversion from HTML to Markdown
• Advice on Markdown and good practices in technical writing for collaborators called to publish directly on Docusaurus
• Working in collaboration with the teams on site and in India.

Technical writing in English:

• In-depth review of complete sections of the existing documentation: rewriting, restructuring, new diagrams, new screenshots, etc.
• Writing “from scratch” of a transversal tutorial using all 3DVIA applications of geometry, assembly, interface with the database and the kitchen planner for the end customer.
• Creation of a piece of furniture from A to Z (when the Technical Writer has to put her(him)self in the place of the different professionals who use the applications) and make numerous screenshots.
