1. Document what you do extensively, including explanative screenshots if it involves UI components.

2. Give the documention to your employer ( it will be greatly appreciated )

3. Ask your direct superior if you can keep a copy just for personal reference

4. Unless your superior is a jerk, this will likely be given the ok.

5. Do so ( strictly speaking this is often illegal; but if superior approves... )

6. Use said documentation to write -new- documentation based off it off work hours ( clean room rewrite of docs essentially ) ( note that depending on what you signed, even these conceptual documentation rewrites may be illegal to share; you'll need to read what you sign )

7. Give rewritten un-infringing documentation to whoever you wish
