Hi everyone,

Dilemma: I'm almost done with my first document. It's 20 pages long. I called it
a user guide and sent it for review. Then I realize, I didn't really cover
absolutely every aspect of the software. I covered about 75%. The important 75%.
Is it okay to have called it a user guide? Is there a rule that says when
calling a document a user guide it has to cover 100% of everything? Or does it
depend on what the company/team/department has deemed "user guide" for
consistency?
