Yes, that is the way to do.

When I studied on technical college we had a class in technical writing
(to learn how to write manuals, because it's the engineers who know how
things work and they need to be able to teach others). And I think we were
told that a good manual need to work in 3 different ways.

1. Quick start
2. Different "how to do that"
3. Reference (what is that button for? where is that function?)

We got a very technical description of a fictive device and wrote manuals
for it.
