We often assume users will “just read the help doc”… but most people choose the path that feels easiest.
Put a long article next to a 40 second walkthrough and the choice is instant.
For CS teams, this creates an interesting challenge:
Do we keep investing in written documentation because it’s the default?
OR we rethink how users actually want to learn?
Are you mostly writing?
Mostly recording?
Or trying to support both formats depending on the task?
