What is Single Source Authoring?

Single source content development is a documentation and procedure-building process that distills your authoring down to the smallest and most concise pieces of usable information.

These content pieces are segmented into types, allowing content developers to author by topic rather than by document.

Topics are organized into a content structure and linked with industry-standard software tools that automatically assemble and publish content to a wide variety of platforms.

Top 3 Benefits of Single Source Authoring

Consistency

Consistency of terminology is vital for high-quality documentation. Our "author once, use many times" approach ensures consistency in every project. 

Simplicity

Single source authoring strips away narrative to focus on the essentials, ensuring each topic stands on its own merits. This minimalist approach is action-oriented and succinct, improving comprehension from the start. 

Efficiency

With single source documentation, you can edit once and have updates automatically populate all your published documents across platforms. 

"Single source authoring for documentation products is an extremely disciplined but efficient methodology for content creation — one that saves money for clients while it boosts consistency and comprehension levels among users." - Senior Content Architect
