How it works under the hood
Understand how Docsio reads your sources, builds a draft and publishes your documentation.
Docsio turns source material into a documentation draft, then gives you an editor and preview to maintain it. Creating a draft and publishing it are separate steps.
The six phases
- Read the sources. Docsio uses the URLs or files you provide to understand the product.
- Match the brand. A website URL can provide colors, fonts and images. You can adjust them later.
- Organize the topics. The agent plans sections and pages around the material it can verify.
- Write the pages. It creates content inside your project instead of only linking to the original sources.
- Review the site. The agent checks its work while the preview renders the current draft.
- Publish when ready. You review the result and publish it to the hosted site.
File-based setup includes a plan approval step. You can refine that outline before generation begins.
How long it takes
The time varies with the number and size of sources, their availability and the work requested. A large documentation import takes longer than a small product site. Follow the progress in the editor rather than relying on a fixed completion time.
What you can do while it runs
Keep the project open while it works. Saved pages are retained as the run progresses. Avoid starting the same request again while it is still active. When you return to a project, check its current status before issuing another task.
What if it gets stuck
Docsio attempts automatic continuation and recovery during longer tasks. If it reports a failure, check the message and retry where offered. If the same issue repeats, use the support widget with the project name and a screenshot. Deleting the project is not a recovery step.
What you don't see
The preview environment renders the current draft. Publishing builds a separate public version with its navigation, assets and search index. Public AI features read published content, so draft changes are not available to visitors until you publish.
