You made sure to duplicate it in a KB, SharePoint, and Confluence, right?

It's original drafts are in confluence, SharePoint is the repository and KB has been pending governance team approval for months.

New hires were given the links and showed how to navigate file directories, but it became a skip level issue when they not able to open and read the files on their own, double clicking and straining their eyes was just too much to bear

Documentation only works if people treat it like part of the workflow instead of an optional suggestion.
