Unfortunately, there's nothing about this software that's user-friendly. It's slow and crashes often, and even when it's working well, using it is not intuitive. A little investment in UX would go a long way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Oxygen is a detailed documentation tool , suitable to cater the needs of a novice or experienced writer, a new or mature product. Ease of adding tag, error highlights (green and red), navigation for source repository. Basic functions are easy to use with experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
