Documenting features seems like the obvious thing to do: Audacity has various menus, so better have a list of what every option in that menu does. However, this leads to the situation where some pages are completely unfindable as a reader already needs to know where certain options are in the menu in order to find out what the page would be called. For example, the feature containing the slider for the recording and playback volumes is called _Mixer Toolbar_. But nobody except the people most intimately familiar with Audacity know it's called that!

||||
|
||||
To combat this, try to write your guides as a way towards a goal, or a **task**. The above example, instead of naming the page after the feature, name it after the task it does, so: [setting-recording-levels-and-playback-levels.md](../../basics/recording-your-voice-and-microphone/setting-recording-levels-and-playback-levels.md "mention")

For example, if you write a guide about compressing and expanding audio, you don't need to hold yourself up on explaining what a compressor is, since the only people who'll ever end up reading that guide are people who already know about that. However, if you were to mention a compressor on a page about general audio editing, you would need to explain what a compressor is good for.

That said: If it's possible to describe a feature without needing to resort to lingo, use it even if it's slightly less accurate.
