An FAQ could just provide suggested search topics to answer some of these. The answers can get long and complex very quickly.

With some thought towards creating individual pdf tutorials, as an exercise I took snapshots of the discrete steps for creating a subVI, dressing up the new vi icon, and added a new input to it. That took 25 photos and then the text gets added.
The process is probably better suited to a video short. I tried making one of the same process and it's done in a couple of minutes.
