Keeping this guide up to date

When a user-visible part of Skilladder changes, the wiki should change too. This page is a reminder for whoever is shipping the change.


When to update the wiki

Change typeWhat to update
A menu appears, moves, or disappearsNavigation map and any affected how-to guides
A role's access changesCapabilities matrix and the relevant role page
A new workflow is addedAdd a new how-to guide (or update an existing one)
Steps in an existing flow changeUpdate the affected how-to guide
Labels or button names change in the productUpdate any how-to guides that reference the old label

A quick Slack message is fine for minor tweaks. For anything that changes a step-by-step flow or a role's access, update the wiki directly so CS and ops have an accurate reference.


How-to guide format

All how-to guides follow the same structure: Goal → Who can do this → Before you start → Steps → What happens next. Match that format when adding new guides.


Letting CS know

If a change is externally visible — something customers actually use, not an internal tool — tag CS leadership in Slack after updating the wiki so they can brief their teams before customers notice.
