Re: What type of document is this?

We call ours "reference volumes."  The place we stick everything that
doesn't seem to have much value beyond trivia but is useful to someone
using the product for off-label applications.  Be sure yours doesn't
contain enough IP to enable some competitor to reverse-engineer your
product.

the features and briefly describes what users can do on each screen. There
are no procedures in it though - we have a much longer user's guide for
that. It's a post-release document, and it'll be used as a definitive list
of what the product contains. We're producing two versions: a 'product'
version containing the UI features, and a 'technical' version.
