Publication checks

Plain description is understandable without the feature name.
Workflow matches the live approved product.
Availability and limits are dated and explicit.
Screenshots and examples contain no sensitive data.
Data and privacy statements link to authoritative details.
Claims match evidence and avoid guarantees.
Non-fit users have an appropriate alternative.
Call to action states the real commitment.

How to use this template

Define the user, job, starting state, desired output, and responsibility retained by the user.
Confirm product behavior, plan, version, region, prerequisites, formats, limits, and data handling.
Map a realistic workflow with examples, errors, recovery, accessibility, and alternatives.
Attach appropriate evidence to every benefit or performance claim.
Approve an accurate next action and assign updates for product or policy changes.

Lead with the job, not an internal label

Describe the situation in which a person needs the feature and the progress it enables. A branded feature name may be unfamiliar, so pair it with a plain explanation. Identify the intended user, starting state, inputs, output, and responsibility that remains with the person. Distinguish the feature from a broader product outcome. “Suggests edits” is more precise than “makes every document perfect,” and it leaves room to explain review requirements.

Show a truthful workflow

Plan a short sequence with approved screenshots, sample data, or a fictional example. Explain prerequisites, permissions, supported formats, availability, quotas, waiting time, and failure or recovery states. State what data enters the workflow and link to authoritative processing details rather than improvising a security promise. Include an important limitation and a case where another feature, manual process, or specialist is more appropriate. Have the product owner verify every interface label and behavioral statement.

Connect proof to proportionate action

Use evidence suited to the claim: documentation for availability, a transparent test for measured performance, consented customer evidence for experience, and no guarantee where outcomes depend on user inputs or external conditions. Place proof near the claim. Choose a call to action that accurately signals commitment, such as “Try with sample text” or “Create an account.” Give unsupported users a clear route instead of sending everyone into a blocked flow.

Fictional example: duplicate-event finder

Calendar Cove is an invented product. The feature and workflow below do not describe real software.

Job: A fictional coordinator reviews possible duplicate events before publishing a schedule.
Behavior: The invented feature flags similar titles and overlapping times; it does not delete or merge events automatically.
Availability: Fictional Team plan, web interface, English titles only, checked on 2026-07-30.
Limitation: Similarity suggestions can be wrong, so a coordinator approves every merge.
Action: “Review sample matches,” using invented non-production events without creating an account.

Frequently asked questions

How is a feature page different from a product page?

A feature page explains one user job and workflow in depth. A product page usually connects several capabilities to a broader audience and value proposition.

Should limitations appear on a marketing page?

Yes when they affect fit, risk, or expected outcome. Clear boundaries help suitable users make better decisions.

Can product screenshots serve as proof?

They can demonstrate interface and workflow at a dated version. They do not by themselves prove performance, satisfaction, or business outcomes.

Who should maintain a feature page?

Assign an editorial owner with named product, support, billing, privacy, and technical contacts for relevant changes.
