CHILANA, Simon Fraser University  \nUsers can often find it difficult to sift through dense help pages, tutorials, Q&A sites, blogs, and wikis to locate useful task-specific instructions for feature-rich applications. We present Social CheatSheet, an interactive information overlay that can appear atop any existing web application and retrieve relevant step-by-step instructions and tutorials curated by other users. Based on results of our formative study, the system offers several features for users to search, browse, filter, and bookmark community-generated help content and to ask questions and clarifications. Furthermore, Social CheatSheet includes embedded curation features for users to generate their own annotated notes and tutorials that can be kept private or shared with the user community. A weeklong deployment study with 15 users showed that users found Social CheatSheet to be useful and they were able to easily both add their own curated content and locate content generated by other users. The majority of users wanted to keep using the system beyond the deployment. We discuss the potential of Social CheatSheet as an application-independent platform driven by community curation efforts to lower the barriers in finding relevant help and instructions.  \nCCS Concepts: • Human-centered computing → Social content sharing; • Human-centered computing → Collaborative content creation; • Human-centered computing → Social recommendation  \nKEYWORDS  \nCommunity-curated help; social help; software learning; software help;  \nACM Reference format:  \nLaton Vermette, Shruti Dembla, April Y.

Although the web offers thousands of help resources, locating the most relevant and useful instructions and examples pertinent to atask can be frustrating and time-consuming. Instead of sifting through verbose documentation, lengthy text and video tutorials, blogs, wikis and other help pages, many users instead prefer social forms of help, such  \nAuthor emails: Laton Vermette ([lvermett@sfu.ca](lvermett@sfu.ca)), Shruti Dembla ([s2dembla@uwaterloo.ca](s2dembla@uwaterloo.ca)), April Y.
