UI Tips


Tip #1

In order to create a comprehensive set of documentation, it is useful to include a search function for easy access to information. However, presenting the same information in multiple formats can also be helpful for both current and future users to locate and utilize the content more easily.

Notion's Documentation does this well  โคต



Tip #2

Notion's Menu is a good example โคต
