Thanks, we are planning to do that — it will definitely mean that the pages can be simpler But, it's a lot of work and will take months. And it makes modifying instructions complicated. In the meantime I need to get people up and running in the next few weeks.

>But, it's a lot of work and will take months. And it makes modifying instructions complicated. What's a lot of work and take months? Recording a video of the installation?

  It's not just the installation, but how to use the product. Offhand, I'd say that there are about 35 pages "How to do X", and I can write a simple, profesional page in about 20 minutes. I can make an amateur video in less than an hour, but a clean, professional video is around 3 hours per item. It wouldn't take months by itself, but in addition to my other work it will take months. Thanks for answering. I had hoped the question would get more feedback like "we tried simple documentation but we hemorraged users" or "we spent months working on documentation and it turned out not to be useful".
