Ideas2
Capture support questions as page ideas
Every repeated support question can become a focused guide or FAQ.
Note which pages should ship a downloadable
A checklist or worksheet attached to a page gives the reader something to take away.
Brief1
Map target query and internal links
Define search intent, screenshots needed, CTA, related pages, and refresh date.
- Write the one question this page answers
- Name the reader and what they already know
- List the pages that will link to it
- Decide the screenshots or diagrams needed
- Set the date it should be reviewed again
Draft1
Answer the question in the first paragraph
Readers who have to scroll for the answer leave before they find it.
Edit1
Edit for one reader
Cut anything that is there to sound thorough rather than to help the reader act.
- Remove every sentence that adds no instruction
- Check each claim is true of the shipped product
- Confirm headings match how people search
- Read it once out loud
Scheduled1
Queue the page and its assets together
Images, alt text, and metadata ship with the page, not after it.
Published1
Link to it from older pages
A new page with no inbound internal links is invisible to readers and to crawlers.
Update Later1
Set a refresh date and what would trigger it
Name the change that would make this page wrong, so you know when to revisit it.

01
When to use this board
For anyone publishing on a schedule who keeps losing ideas before they become pages.
02
How to run this board
Turn support questions into ideas.
Add each repeated question to Ideas. Its brief names the target query and internal links.
Draft for one reader and edit hard.
Answer the question in the first paragraph. Use the Edit checklist to cut what does not help.
Link it and set a refresh date.
Link the new page from older ones. Move the card to Update Later with a review date and trigger.
03
What this creates
7 stacks, 4 labels, and 8 starter cards with 9 checklist steps.
04
Standard Deck objects only
The result is an ordinary Deck board that you edit like any other. With a Nextcloud account, Deckloud writes it straight to your server, with no relay.
05
Safe import rules
The file holds no server IDs. Due dates count from the day you create the board, and checklists are Markdown task lists in card descriptions.
FAQ
Practical questions
Does the template include comments or attachments?
No. Comments need an author, and attachments differ between servers and Deck versions, so v1 templates hold text only.
Why is Update Later a stack rather than a label?
A stack keeps published pages in view. A label on an archived card is a reminder nobody sees.
What belongs in the brief?
The one question the page answers, its reader, the pages linking to it, and its next review date.
