One Source. Multiple Outputs.

Technical manuals authored once, published everywhere.

niAuthor replaces disconnected document tools with a single structured environment where OEM teams author, review and approve technical content — then publish it simultaneously as professional PDFs and interactive web experiences without any reformatting.

Author

Focus on engineering content. The system handles structure.

Authors work in a schema-driven environment with a structured palette — adding paragraphs, steps, safety notes, tables and figures through a drag-and-drop interface. Standards compliance is built into the authoring environment so no manual formatting effort is needed.

  • Drag-and-drop structured palette: Paragraphs, Steps, Safety Notes, Tables
  • Real-time Table of Contents with section navigation
  • Zero formatting effort — compliance baked into the environment

Review

Replace email cycles with real-time contextual review.

Reviewers and authors collaborate directly within the authoring context. Comments are tied to specific sections and tracked with open and resolved status — giving complete traceability across every review round without any tab switching.

  • Section-level contextual comments visible in the TOC
  • Threaded reply and resolve — full audit trail per comment
  • Open and resolved status tracking — no feedback point missed
Release

Publish once to PDF and web from the same structured source.

Once content is approved, niAuthor generates professional PDF and web outputs simultaneously from the same structured source — with no manual reformatting. Embedded figures, numbered steps, safety notes and tables all render correctly in every output format.

  • Single structured source powers both PDF and web
  • Rich content preserved — figures, tables, safety notes
  • One-click publish — consistent, predictable every time

Technical manuals and parts catalogs linked as one.

niAuthor creates a live connection between technical manual content and parts catalog data. Each component carries both the relevant figures from the catalog and all associated manuals — giving authors, service teams and customers a single, trusted source of technical knowledge.

  • Components connected to both manuals and catalog figures
  • Manual status tracked per component — active, draft, locked
  • Seamless navigation between technical content and parts data

One environment for every team behind the content.

niAuthor gives each stakeholder exactly the access and tools they need — keeping the authoring process clear, controlled and traceable across the full content lifecycle.
