Overview
Developers judge an SDK in the first ten minutes. If the install steps assume one operating system, or the examples fail on the current version, they copy from forums instead. This eight-page Google Docs template puts the shortest working path first: install, initialise, a reference page, the call lifecycle, examples, errors and the changelog. Each page has one job, so a reader can find the answer without scanning the whole guide.
The sample is a fictional Willowmere Digital SDK with a command-line installer, a test key, a client reference and a 2.4.0 release. It shows install commands, a parameters table, a call lifecycle and an error register in finished form. Replace the commands, versions and examples with your own, and run every example against the current release before you publish.
Useful for
- A partner developer integrating a new SDK into an app before a launch date
- An integration engineer checking the error codes before a production rollout
- A DevRel lead planning the next SDK release and its changelog notes

Questions
Should I keep old SDK versions documented?
Keep the last two major versions until their support end date, and mark the rest as removed. Readers on old versions need to know the end date, so put it on the changelog page.
Are Willowmere Digital, the SDK and the figures real?
No. Willowmere Digital, its SDK, the command-line tool, the version numbers, the test key and every figure in this template are fictional sample data. Replace them before you publish.
Can the examples be generated from code?
They can, and that is the best way to keep them current. Until then, run each example by hand against the current release before every publish, and record the version beside it.
