Editorial Policy

TechyTools exists to make technology easier to understand. This page explains how our content is researched, written, and maintained, so readers know what to expect from every guide on this site.

How we choose topics

We write about real problems and questions that people actually search for: a printer that will not print, a spreadsheet formula that keeps returning an error, a setting that is hard to find. Topics are chosen based on reader demand and practical usefulness — not on what is easiest to publish.

How guides are researched

Every guide is researched against primary sources wherever they exist: the manufacturer’s official documentation and support resources for the product involved, and the official help documentation for software such as Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets. Steps are ordered the way a reader should actually try them — simplest and safest first — and error messages are explained in plain language rather than repeated without context.

Accuracy and corrections

Technology changes: software updates move settings, and manufacturers revise their procedures. We review and update guides when the underlying product changes. If you find an error in any article, please tell us through the Contact page — corrections are made as quickly as possible, and factual accuracy matters more to us than publishing speed.

What we do not do

• We do not publish invented statistics, fake reviews, or made-up reader experiences.
• We do not copy content from other websites.
• We do not present sponsored or commercial material as independent advice. If content is ever published in partnership with a commercial sponsor, it will be clearly labelled as such.

Independence

Our guides describe procedures and products as we find them. Brand names mentioned on this site belong to their respective owners (see our Disclaimer), and mentioning a brand does not imply any partnership with or endorsement by that brand.

Reader responsibility

Our guides are educational. Before following any procedure that changes settings, drivers, or device configuration, readers should back up important data and, where a manufacturer provides official instructions for their exact model, follow those first. See our Terms & Conditions for the full terms of use.
