Zenious converts videos into structured articles that follow DITA and Microsoft Style & Technical Publication (MSTP) standards. Each article is generated using a clear, topic-based structure to ensure consistency, clarity, and reuse across documentation.

Zenious supports the following article types:

• Procedure: Task-oriented articles that provide step-by-step instructions derived directly from the video.

• Overview or Concept: Articles that explain the purpose, behavior, or context of a feature or workflow.

• Troubleshooting: Problem–solution articles that identify common issues, causes, and recommended resolutions.

• Blog Post: Narrative-style articles adapted from video content for broader communication and publishing needs.

This structured approach enables teams to transform video content into documentation suitable for help centers, knowledge bases, and learning portals, while maintaining professional documentation standards and editorial control.
