What a PageBow documentation site includes
Setup, task, and reference pages that a new user can follow from start to finish.
Handbooks and guides
Write a setup guide, task pages, and a reference for fields, limits, and definitions.
Categories and search
Group pages under Getting started, How-to, Reference, and Troubleshooting. Readers browse a category or search the collection.
Markdown, HTML, or the document editor
Write in whichever editor you prefer, and ask the AI prompt bar for an outline when the structure is the hard part.
How to publish your first docs
Start with the pages a new user needs.
1. Write the setup guide
Take the reader from a new account to the first success, step by step.
2. Add the task pages
Write one job per page, with the clicks or commands in the order the reader will use them.
3. Write a short reference
List the limits, fields, and definitions that you can keep accurate.
4. Publish
Publish the collection on your own domain and link the docs from your product.
How the pages fit together
Navigation and related pages help readers move between a guide and its reference.
Top navigation and categories
A top navigation and category cards give readers a map of the documentation before they open a page.
Related pages
At the bottom of a page, related pages share a category or a tag, so a guide leads to the matching reference.
Layouts for long pages
Use the outline layout for a long article with a table of contents, and the accordion for a page of short answers.
