The State of Docs Survey 2026

We all know that great documentation is a crucial part of any product. It doesn’t just support users — it enhances the entire product experience.

But with success metrics that can be tricky to define — and “good docs” often being felt more than measured — how can we really prove the true value of documentation?

That’s exactly why we’re back with the 2026 State of Docs survey, and why we’d love you to share your perspective.

We’re pulling together insights from technical writers, product managers, developers, and documentation professionals like you to uncover the trends, challenges, and best practices across the industry.

What are the best metrics for measuring your documentation’s success today? How can docs become more integrated into the user journey? And as AI becomes part of day-to-day docs work, what’s actually changing for teams — and what still takes careful human judgment?

Your answers will help shape the 2026 report — and help make the case that great docs are vital to any great product’s success.
