MadCap Flare is the professional content authoring tool used by technical writers and documentation specialists to create, manage, and publish content for both print and online documentation. Whether used to create content for complex digital print publishing (PDF) or online Help systems (WebHelp and WebHelp Mobile), MadCap Flare provides a robust authoring and publishing solution for your professional technical communication needs.

Authoring and Content Reuse

Using Flare’s patented, visual XML editor, authors can enjoy the benefits of XML (extensible markup language) without any need for XML knowledge. With XML, content is separate from formatting and therefore allows the author to focus on content creation. The authoring process is further enhanced and streamlined using advanced topic-based authoring features that further allow for maximum content reuse and publishing to multiple deliverables and outputs.

Multi-channel Publishing

Publish content to a variety of formats including cross-browser, cross-platform online Help, printed documents such as PDF and Word™, and online Help optimized for mobile devices.

Project Management and Collaboration

Flare makes it easier to manage complex projects with advanced tracking and reporting tools. File Tagging allows you to assign tags to topics, files, even folders, within Flare. Assign tags for authors or milestones and generate reports based on the assigned tags.

Content Management

Flare allows for full content management capabilities with direct integration and access to Microsoft SharePoint. In addition, Subversion, Microsoft Team Foundation and Visual Source Safe are directly integrated and accessed from Flare, enabling built-in source control for efficient team authoring and collaboration. Not using source control? Flare's external resources feature allows files and folders to be mapped and shared among any number of projects or users.
