Onboard
Overview
Creating a DocsHound guide involves navigating the onboarding flow, which includes URL scraping and the creation of a knowledge graph.
Onboarding
Basic Inputs
After signing up for DocsHound, you'll be guided through an onboarding flow. This process helps DocsHound get to know your product better.
First, DocsHound asks for your product's URL. It uses this to collect data and start creating a knowledge graph specific to your application.
Next, you'll see your product's name, description, and functionalities already filled in. DocsHound pre-populates this information based on the data collected from your URL. Review and confirm these details are correct.
Screenshot Submission
After submitting a dashboard screenshot, DocsHound uses AI to analyze your user interface. This step helps DocsHound understand the layout and features of your application. It's an important part of setting up your documentation because it allows the software to provide more accurate and relevant content suggestions.
Mapping Features
Map operational tasks to application sections using DocsHound's guided table of contents builder. After submitting your application's screenshot, this feature helps you organize your content by linking what users can do in your app to specific areas or functions.
Post-Onboarding Actions
Table of Contents and Article Creation
After submitting a screenshot and defining your main menu or app sections, the next steps involve finalizing your table of contents, updating your product information, and planning how your documentation will grow with your product. This ensures your support docs always match your current business offerings.
Keep your documentation fresh and relevant by routinely checking and updating the product details. This may include adding descriptions, functionalities, and screenshots to ensure accuracy across support materials.
As your product evolves, so should your documentation. Add new sections, update existing ones, and remove what's no longer relevant. This process keeps your users informed and helps them get the most out of your product.
