TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I have created a new version of our Content Management User Guide to reflect significant changes to the page layout process in the CMS. However, the old guide will be needed for a period of time as users will still need it until they move to the new process. So both guides with similar titles will exist for a while. The issue we have is what to call the old guide. Someone has suggested calling it a "legacy" guide but I am wondering if there is a better name for it, e.g. the "Content Management Users Guide (name)" though (name) could be in a different position in the doc title. Does anyone have any suggestions?
