Template FAQ

About the long-form templates

Q: What makes these templates long form?

A: They define the structure of an entire manual or guide, with different patterns for chapters such as procedures, references, checklists, and policies. You can repeat each pattern for the tasks and subjects your document covers.

Q: Can Docsie create the chapters from recordings?

A: Yes. Open a template page and choose Create in Docsie to start with that template in Video to Knowledge Base. Add your recordings, then review the resulting chapters and task articles against the source material.

A: All 42 templates are free to download without signing up. Choose Word or Markdown for an editable file, or PDF for a printable copy. Download an individual file from its card, or get every format in the ZIP bundle above.
