Guides
Reference docs tell you what every feature does. Guides walk you through scenarios — migrations, rebrands, team handoffs, AI integrations — end-to-end. Each one is opinionated and assumes you want to ship docs that look professional, not sprinkle features on a blank page.
Getting it right from day one
Mintlify, GitBook, ReadMe, Notion, Confluence, plain markdown — what to expect when you bring existing docs into Docsio.
Beyond auto-extraction — replacing the logo, refining colors, swapping fonts, and getting the small details right.
Sidebar, categories, ordering, naming. The decisions that compound as your docs grow past 20 pages.
llms.txt, the MCP server, the AI chat widget, ChatGPT-friendly markdown. The four levers that make your docs show up in AI answers.
Day-to-day operations
Roles, review workflow, who edits what, and the patterns that work for engineering-driven docs vs marketing-driven docs.
When to tag a version, when not to, and how to recover when a publish goes sideways.
Loom, YouTube, Figma, custom MDX components, and the in-page chat widget. When each is worth the weight.
Top pages, search queries with zero results, ChatGPT referral traffic. What to act on, what to ignore.
A note on these guides
Docsio is opinionated software. Where there's a choice between "give the user every option" and "ship a sensible default", we usually ship the default. These guides reflect that — they tell you what we recommend, not just what's possible. If a recommendation doesn't fit your situation, the reference docs have everything else.
