When to use it

When course materials are too long or hard to follow

Step by step

  1. Copy the original text

    Copy the procedure, policy or manual section you need to teach. Remove anything confidential first.

  2. Ask for a learner-friendly version

    Paste it into your AI assistant with this prompt.

    Prompt to copyRewrite the procedure below as a learner handout for [role, e.g. new warehouse staff] with a reading age of about 12. Keep every required step and safety point; do not add new rules. Structure: a one-line purpose, numbered steps (one action each, starting with a verb), a 'Watch out for' box with the 3 most common mistakes, a short glossary of any jargon, and 4 quick self-check questions with answers at the bottom. Flag anything in the original that is unclear or seems contradictory. Procedure: [paste text]
  3. Check it with the process owner

    Send the draft to whoever owns the procedure to confirm nothing important was lost or changed.

  4. Lay it out

    Paste the final text into Google Docs or a Canva document template and add a photo or screenshot for any step people struggle with.

What you get

Purpose: Get returns back on the shelf the same day. 1. Scan the returns label. 2. Check the item for damage... Watch out for: putting items back without re-tagging. Self-check: What do you do if the label won't scan?
