What are the elements of a good user manual

A good user manual is:

Organized (clear sections, headings, and step-by-step instructions)
Reader-focused, written at the right level for its audience (e.g., for general users rather than technical experts)
Visually supportive, using diagrams, screenshots, and icons to make instructions easier to follow
Consistent in formatting, terminology, and style throughout
Refined through testing with real users and redrafted based on their feedback

QuillBot’s free user manual creator can instantly draft instructions for your user manual project.

AI writing tools: Other interesting questions

Is ChatGPT safe to use for school?: ChatGPT is safe to use for school when students follow these precautions:

Stay informed about potential risks such as ChatGPT plagiarism.

Review and follow your instructor and/or school’s policies about generative AI (e.g., Some schools require students to disclose when they’ve used ChatGPT for assignment help).

Avoid sensitive personal information in prompts (e.g., your name and contact information).

Verify facts provided by ChatGPT with credible sources.

Use ChatGPT for small pieces of an essay (e.g., a hook or thesis statement) or to brainstorm ideas. Don’t prompt ChatGPT to generate entire drafts.

Revise any content that ChatGPT generates to ensure the writing assignments you submit are in your own writing voice.

Another way to use ChatGPT safely is by using QuillBot’s free AI Content Detector or AI Detector Mobile App for iOS to ensure that AI-assisted writing hasn’t been plagiarized.
When was ChatGPT released?: ChatGPT was first released on November 30, 2022.

Since then, various updated versions have been released, like ChatGPT-4 on March 14, 2023 and ChatGPT-4.5 on February 27, 2025.

OpenAI, the company that created ChatGPT, is working on new versions for future release.
Can AI write a book?: Yes, AI can write a book. However, a book written by AI probably wouldn’t be a very good book.

Unlike humans, AI is limited when it comes to creativity (e.g., with figurative language), themes, and tone of voice.

Despite this, generative AI can be helpful to human authors. For example, AI can suggest writing strategies to put writers in the right mindset. It can also be used for parts of the writing process. For example, if you’re brainstorming ideas for your own book, the QuillBot AI book title generator can instantly suggest creative, attention-grabbing titles to spark inspiration.

If you use it more extensively, generative AI can be used in combination with a tool that can humanize AI text to improve the style. However, it’s good to be aware that many publishers also use AI detectors to check that what they publish is high-quality, human-written work.

If you’d like to see how AI detectors work, you can try the QuillBot AI Detector.
When did AI start?: The idea of artificial intelligence (AI) has existed in fiction for millennia—”automatons,” or machines with agency and free will, can be traced back to Greek mythology.

However, AI as we now know it began to take off in the 1950s. The term “AI” was first used at a workshop in Dartmouth in 1956. John McCarthy, who helped organize this workshop, is often considered the father of AI.

The work of McCarthy and many other innovators has led to the AI capabilities we see today. Generative AI tools like QuillBot’s AI Image Generator are revolutionizing the way we work and create.
Can you use AI to rewrite text?: Yes, you can use AI to rewrite text.

You can use a humanizer tool, like QuillBot’s, to humanize AI text.

You can also use a paraphraser, like QuillBot’s free Paraphraser, to rewrite your own texts.
