Frequently asked questions
Can I include screencasts?+
PDFs can't embed videos. Link to your video CMS (Loom, internal portal) and the PDF will preserve clickable URLs.
How do I version this for different roles?+
Maintain role-specific Markdown files and run them through the converter as needed. Use the Pro Markdown Merger to combine shared sections.
Will it work on a Chromebook?+
Yes. The entire pipeline runs in the browser — no native app or plugin needed.
