Templates

In technical documentation, there are document "types" (similar to how there are data types). We have templates for the different types, to make it super-easy for whomever wants to contribute some documentation!

The most common types are:

  • Combo: For most topics (unless they are very large and complex), we can combine the procedural and conceptual information into a single document. A handy guideline to follow is: "If the actual 1., 2., 3. steps are buried at the bottom, and a reader has to scroll multiple times to find them, then the combo approach is not the right one".

  • Procedural: these are How To docs, the HOW information, with step-by-step instructions for accomplishing a task. This is what most people are looking for when they open the docs... and best practice is to separate the procedural docs from long, lengthy conceptual or reference docs.

  • Conceptual: these docs provide the WHY information, and explain when to use a feature (or when not to!), and general concepts behind the feature or functionality.

  • Reference: this is typically tables or lists of reference information, such as configuration values, or functions, or most commmonly APIs.

Add a new integration

To add documentation for a new integration (with support level Community or Vendor), please use the integration templates service.md from our GitHub repo. You can download the template using the following command:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/goauthentik/authentik/main/website/integrations/template/service.md
