Overall Satisfaction with Paligo
I use Paligo to create publicly accessible Guides, Tutorials, and visual Walkthroughs supporting our industrial automation software. These need to be suitable for product marketing, building excitement/confidence during pre-sales, and supporting new and long-time users of our product(s). Across these different use cases, articles are consumed by Management, Supervisors / Operators, Trainers, and Engineers. Users interact with our product across multiple platforms: inside our software, in our Paligo-based help pages, and in our Learning Management System. In order to avoid duplicating or creating contradictory product information, we need to be able to author in a single location, with content and style outputs conditioned by the platform.
Pros
- Conditional formatting.
- Tracking text reuse.
- Informal topics / components.
Cons
- User interactions.
- SCORM 1.2 compatibility.
- Unlinking / editing reused text is unintuitive.
- WHEN I COPY A TOPIC, REUSE THE PARAS INSIDE IT!
- Content reuse / linking.
- Translations
- Publication styling.
- SCORM outputs.
- Too soon to tell.
I was not part of the selection process / did not evaluate other tools. I had previously been authoring my content in Google Suite or directly in our Learning Management System. Both of those were hells of information duplication.
