Writing a guide

How to add a new guide to the knowledge base.

Writing a guide

Creating a guide takes one file. No code changes required.

1. Add a Markdown file

Create a file under content/guides/, for example content/guides/exporting-data.md:

---
title: Exporting your data
description: Download your data as CSV or JSON.
order: 20
---

# Exporting your data

Steps go here…

2. Front-matter fields

FieldRequiredPurpose
titleyesHeading, navigation label and <title>
descriptionnoSEO meta + search snippet
screennoTies the guide to an app screen for contextual help
ordernoSort weight within the navigation (lower first)

3. That's it

On the next build the guide appears in navigation, search and at its own URL (/guides/exporting-data). Markdown supports headings, tables, code blocks and MDC components.
