An engineer, usually an application engineer, will document the change and the technical writer needs to be able to track the documentation progress and then format it into the correct location in the user guide.

• The new hire needs to understand if the content “makes sense," so the outcome is understood by the customer. Every update to the documentation goes through a review by a few engineers.
