Authoring and Collaboration

HelpStudio seamlessly combines a feature-packed WYSIWYG authoring environment, HTML-based layout templates, and customizable content widgets to make it simple to create and localize consistent, professional-looking help systems with minimum effort.

What HelpStudio Customers Say

“Managing documentation as part of developing software can be a surprisingly complex process. With HelpStudio we were able to create and maintain high-quality up-to-date documentation in a short amount of time and with very little overhead.”

Henrik Frystyk Nielsen, Group Program Manager, Microsoft

“We have been using HelpStudio since it first became available.

HelpStudio provides a nice blend of built-in functionality with full customizability, flexibility, and excellent support.

HelpStudio allows us to painlessly combine our API documentation with our User Guide documentation into one file that is easily integrated with our COM and Visual Studio products.”
