MadCap X-Edit
Short Document Contribution Solution for SMEs, Including Document Review with X-Edit Review
Leveraging the powerful authoring features of Flare and Blaze, MadCap Software provides a document solution for
the everyday content contributor that combines both editing and publishing into a single document solution.
Now casual content contributors, SMEs and managers can seamlessly provide content to the technical authors
using defined guidelines. Technical authors ensure consistency and avoid the hassle of converting content from
Word or other formats. In addition, everyone can review content without needing to manage edits in PDFs.
For MadCap Flare and Blaze Authors:
- Create X-Edit templates in Flare or Blaze for subject matter experts and contributors
- Maintain project text styles, table styles, conditions, variables, and images
- Prevent potential loss of content by locking text, such as headings
For Subject Matter Experts and Managers:
- Add content to Flare or Blaze projects using X-Edit
- Edit and review existing content using X-Edit Review
- Submit content directly into projects without technical writing knowledge or experience
