At Relativity, technical writing is a critical component of the software development process. As much as we strive to build software that's easy to use, we also realize that help materials are very important. Our documentation team works with our developers, product managers, and testers to communicate the functionality of our software in the most complete, accurate, and elegant way possible. Relativity publishes its software and API documentation online so anyone can access it either directly or through web searches. The help content includes getting started guides, feature overviews, procedures, and reference materials for end-users. The API documentation provides reference materials, conceptual information, and code samples to help third-party developers implement custom applications and plugins for Relativity. Our documentation team publishes updates to the content on the day of each release, so as a user, you always have the materials you need to be successful as soon as you use the product.
