Hi,
Interesting. Thanks.
From what I’ve seen, the responsibility for keeping documentation up to date really depends on how the company is structured. In some cases, it falls under the product team; in others, it’s handled by the support team.
In a previous role at a large company, I was on the product team, and initially, we were responsible for creating and maintaining the docs. Later, that responsibility shifted to the support team. At first, this freed us up a bit, but eventually, we started producing videos so the support team could use them as a base for writing the final documentation.
That handoff helped somewhat, but it didn’t solve the core issue: even small UI changes still required updating the docs. Screenshots had to be redone constantly, which quickly became a time sink.
