This is mainly done by <strong>filling in the blanks<\/strong> (signified by square brackets []). To make any changes, you'll need to click the \"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.process.st\/help\/docs\/editing-templates\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Edit Template<\/a>\" button.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you'd like to add more text, images, or subchecklists, that's possible via the \"Content\" widget on the right-hand side of the editing screen. If you need to add more procedures &amp; processes, there's a \"Task\" button in the bottom left-hand corner of the editing screen.<\/p>\n<p>Once you're happy with the manual's content, you can export the fully-written manual to Word and\/or save it as a PDF file to share with your team(s). Alternatively, you can host your operations manual inside Process Street itself thanks to its templates, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.process.st\/help\/docs\/what-is-the-difference-between-templates-and-checklists\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">checklists<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.process.st\/help\/docs\/folders\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">folders<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>To build the best operations manual possible, consider using our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.process.st\/templates\/writing-an-operations-manual\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Checklist for Writing an Operations Manual<\/a> <strong>alongside<\/strong> this Operations Manual Template.<\/p>\n<h5>What should happen after creating the operations manual?<\/h5>\n<p>Your team(s) can use the operations manual you create as a procedure manual and an overview of different processes. But for this to work best, your business should also <strong>have each procedure that's listed in the manual existing independently as a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.process.st\/help\/docs\/running-checklists\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">checklist<\/a> in a&nbsp;folder&nbsp;inside your Process Street account<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>Because you can <strong>delegate these procedures<\/strong> as checklists for your employees to work through. By using checklists, you'll ensure that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.process.st\/human-error\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">human error<\/a> is reduced and employees follow processes and procedures correctly.
