Content quality plays a massive part in customer satisfaction and trustworthiness. When information is up-to-date and precise, it’s more reliable. And trust is more important to any company’s success. But it’s not always straightforward to keep content coherent across channels. Content managers and editors obviously have a good deal of tasks on their plates. They often must cope with recurrent updates and ad-hoc shifts. With no proper set of resources or support, inaccuracies or missed details are intended to occur. One slip isn’t certainly the end of the world, but little gaffes chip away at your product perception. That’s why it’s valuable to build all content in one place like Document360, a knowledge management platform devised to help with the intricacies that come up with the task. Here, we’ll look at some of the releases from Q4 2022 that do some major heavy lifting on a daily, so that all can emphasize their energy on more high-value tasks.

Presenting content health, a new way to improve the quality of an article

Offering your articles, a different look can be a tiresome job, but it is an essential one before publishing. A typo can toss off a customer when they’re attempting to read through guidelines, or not as good as still, they might get an inferior impression of your brand subsequently. There’s your standard SPAG (spelling, punctuation, and grammar) you’ll choose to check over, but that’s not sufficient. You’ll need to make sure it’s consumable, drifts nicely, and it’s effortless to traverse. We’re delighted to announce a brand new and foundational feature, health check metrics, that helps you to enhance the article’s SEO and readability. It offers you useful perceptions of the current problems, recommendations, and optimal areas in the content. The article health check feature is particularly beneficial for contributors, editors, and draft writers of your Document360 platform. The article health check review discovers and prioritizes the crucial facets of SEO and readability metrics of your articles. To explore more about the health check metrics, please click here.
