Document the key points: elevator pitch style. How would you explain how to use this piece of gear in 30 seconds? Format it `Brand Name` `Model` - Studio Manual For example, Behringer RD8 - Studio Manual ## Using Headings Make sure to use Headings to disambiguate key points so that a table of contents appears.  Use Heading 1 for larger sections and Heading 2, Heading 3, etc. for sub-points. ## Key headings you might include - Important emergency protocols to prevent damage to equipment - Troubleshooting procedure - What Cable to Use - How to Turn on and Off the Device - How to accomplish basic sound design - Different modes of operation - How to Sequence - How to save a patch - What power cable (with picture) - [ ] Finish migrating Studio Manuals onto Drive
