Accessibility
Written documentation is accessible to everyone—including those who prefer reading, can't watch videos, or have slow internet.
Quick reference
Users can scan articles and jump to specific steps. No need to scrub through video to find one piece of information.
Better SEO
Written content with screenshots ranks well in search. Help articles bring organic traffic and answer user questions proactively.
