Where it shows up
A course, job aid, or workflow explanation feels crowded, hard to follow, or full of details that do not help the task.
Look for unnecessary information, unclear sequence, too many choices, weak examples, long screens, and missing practice.
No technology
Remove one piece of information that does not help the learner make the next decision or perform the task.
Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace
Use a review checklist in Word or Docs to mark must-know, useful-later, and remove-or-link content.
AI-assisted
Ask AI to identify where a draft may overload a new learner, then have a human reviewer confirm what to remove or move.
