Adding a new page
To add a new page to the documentation:
In Visual Studio Code, add a new markdown file to the correct folder in the repository, ensuring it carries the
.md
extension.Add a UID at the top of your new file. Add this UID in a metadata section. For example:
--- uid: contributing ---
Note
Do not use spaces in a UID.
Add the new page to the relevant toc.yml file so that it is included in the table of contents. To do so, specify the name and UID as follows:
- name: The name of the page as it should appear in the table of contents topicUid: The file UID
For example:
- name: Basic concepts topicUid: BasicConcepts
To add the new page at a lower level in the table of contents, use the following syntax:
- name: The name of the page at the level above the page you are adding topicUid: The file UID items: - name: The name of the new page as it should appear in the table of contents topicUid: The file UID of the new page
Check if there are any smaller content overviews that also need to be updated with a link. For example, if you add something in the user guide, usually there is a page at a higher level in the guide that gives an overview of all underlying pages. Add a link to your new page on that page. See Links and cross-references.
When your page is ready, create a pull request.
