How We Create Our How-To Guides
A how-to guide is only useful if the buttons and menus match what’s on your screen. Here’s how every guide on TechnologyDots.com is made.
Start with a real task
We write about the tasks people actually get stuck on, like a Google Drive download error, a missing Outlook rule or a Mac screenshot that won’t save.
Follow every step ourselves
Steps are followed in the current version of the app or device, and the screenshots come from those walkthroughs.
Check official help
Details are checked against official documentation such as Google Drive Help, Microsoft Support and Apple Support.
Keep guides current
Apps change their menus often. We update guides when steps or screens change, and fix mistakes as soon as readers point them out.
