Dynamically generated
personalized documentation.
Documentation that fits the product, the configuration, and the people using it.
Generate personalized manufacturing documentation from reusable, structured content. Support more product variants without creating a separate manual from scratch for every combination.

Assemble personalized documentation from reusable components
Manufacturing documentation is rarely one-size-fits-all.
Product lines branch into variants and configurations for different markets and customers. Each combination can need its own manual, guide, or catalogue. Producing each one manually becomes harder as the range grows.
XDocs DITA CCMS structures content at the component level. Shared components can be assembled into multiple documentation sets that reflect the actual product configuration.
As products evolve, update and reuse the relevant content instead of rewriting every document.
Make every variation manageable
A regional variant, a customer-specific build, or a different market’s requirements can change which information belongs in a documentation set.
The XDocs Manufacturing Suite assembles content from a single, structured source and supports release management across those variations. Common content stays consistent while configuration-specific content is used where it applies.
Define and validate the content-selection rules for your product range, so each output contains the information its audience needs.
One content foundation.
Many useful outputs.
The same structured content can serve manuals, service guides, support sites, and technician references. Reuse reduces duplication and keeps those outputs aligned with a single source of truth.
User guides
Bring together the instructions that apply to the product and its configuration.
Service manuals
Reuse relevant maintenance and service information across applicable products.
Support sites
Carry the same approved product knowledge into your online support content.
Technician references
Assemble focused information for the people working with your equipment.
Change shared content.
Keep control of every release.
Reuse makes updates reach further. Review workflows and release management help keep those updates controlled.
When shared content changes, that update can carry through wherever the component is used. XDocs helps teams manage review and publishing across variants and channels, with visibility into what changed and where.
Revise the component
Make the change in the shared source content.
Review its applicability
Check the affected products, configurations, and outputs.
Control the release
Use review workflows before revised content is published.
Publish the right set
Release approved documentation for the relevant audience and channel.
A connected approach to product information
Personalized documentation is part of a broader manufacturing content workflow.
Explore how the XDocs Manufacturing Suite helps manufacturers manage complex technical content, streamline documentation workflows, and deliver accurate product information across the service lifecycle.
Return to the Manufacturing HubPersonalized documentation FAQs
What makes documentation personalized?
The documentation set is assembled from reusable content to reflect a product’s configuration and the needs of its audience. Shared information can be reused, while the content that varies is selected for the relevant product, customer, or market.
Do we need a separate manual for every variant?
You may need different published manuals, but you do not have to maintain every manual as an independent source. XDocs manages structured components that can be reused across the documentation sets where they apply.
Can we control changes before they are published?
Yes. XDocs’ review workflows and release management help teams control updates before publishing across product variants and channels. Shared changes should be checked for their effect on each relevant configuration.
