- Overview and Documentation
- This suite of applications provides a synchronized content platform for creating documentation, training, and performance support across the enterprise. Its use is generally limited to a team of content authors and/or subject matter experts. The content is made available to users through a Player, document output, or a Knowledge Center. Content can also be tracked to ensure that users understand and learn the content that authors are providing.

- The following components are available for installation:
- – The Developer is the primary content authoring tool that allows you to create and publish content easily. Using a content Library for organization and storage, you can build outlines comprised of various documents such as modules/sections, topics, glossaries, questions, and assessments. Content can then be enhanced with additional assets such as conceptual web pages, package content (such as documents, spreadsheets, presentation slide decks, web sites, flash content, HTML pages), role assignments, and so on. Content can then be published as playable simulations, various flavors of documentation output (such as job aids, training guides, instructor manuals, test and system process documents), and context-sensitive, in-application support, help systems. The Developer can be installed for one author or as a collaborative and centralized platform for authoring teams, subject matter experts, content reviewers, and so on.
- Developer
- – The Knowledge Center is a centralized platform for content deployment, tracking, and reporting. The Knowledge Center provides the infrastructure and tools for importing, organizing, and deploying content created in the Developer (and other applications), managing users and the content that is made available to them, tracking how deployed content is used, and reporting on the content that is consumed. The extent of these capabilities depends on whether you are using the Standard edition (basic usage tracking and reporting) or the Professional edition (more sophisticated user and content management, content organization and deployment, usage tracking, and reporting capabilities typically found in learning content management systems).
