Overview / Survival Guide
An overview/survival guide topic provides a guided view of a technology, solution or technology-related concept or activity through links to internal (TechNet Wiki) and external Microsoft and community information. For example, an overview of hyper-v for beginners or SQL Server pivot table survival guide. Typically, this type of topic will grow over time as other users contribute useful links and descriptions so it is okay to start with a short topic!
Begin with a description of the problem using general terms and broad concepts. This will provide context for the solutions that follow as well as set expectations for the reader. In separate sections, provide scoped guidance using appropriate headers by media type (videos, documents, white papers, blogs), task (plan, design, develop, deploy, maintain), feature (join, insert, delete, update, select), etc.
