How to make a tutorial
Tutorial is a training material or manual which describes the process step by step and explains how to achieve a specific result. Ideally, the tutorial should give the reader comprehensive guide and leave no questions. If you have coped with a difficult task, tell others how to solve it — they will be grateful.
How to write
Write clearly and crisp. No long introductions or lengthy descriptions. If you really want to, add it at the end of the publication, but your main task is to write the manual as concisely and clearly as possible.
Try to estimate the level of complexity of the tutorial and point it out at the beginning of the publication. Tell what knowledge the reader should have in order to follow the instructions without any problems and not to be distracted by trifles of clarification.
Identify the steps with numbers so that you can easily navigate the tutorial. If the instruction steps turns out to be too large give them short and clear names. If the tutorial can be divided into several large blocks, do so by visually separating them with an empty space or titles.
