IDT Tips for Documents

• Use text styles (Titles, Headings, and Paragraphs) to create clear structure and improve readability.
• Organize content into brief, manageable sections to help reduce cognitive overload.
• Use built-in list tools, using numbers for steps in a sequence and bullets for related information.
