Documentation Template

Rocket.Chat is a platform that values the accuracy and relevance of its documentation. This is crucial in ensuring that users and developers can effectively utilize and contribute to the platform. The process of updating the documentation is a collaborative effort that involves both the contributors and the documentation team. This guide provides a template and instructions on how to create a draft for the documentation when a pull request is made that could potentially alter existing documentation.

If you've made a pull request that you think could impact the existing documentation, this template is here to assist you in formulating the necessary modifications. Start by confirming if the feature you're enhancing is already covered in the existing documentation, which can be found at https://docs.rocket.chat/.

To put forward a draft, initiate a pull request from a branch in the repository and tag it as 'draft'. Subsequently, the documentation team will revise it to ensure it meets the documentation guidelines.

The draft's role is to equip the documentation team with the essential information to develop appropriate documentation for the updated feature. It's important to keep in mind that any modifications to a feature need to be mirrored in the documentation to avoid it becoming outdated or inaccurate.

Bear in mind that the template is flexible and doesn't always have to be adhered to strictly. If a certain field is not relevant, you can simply label it as "N/A".

Moreover, for smaller changes, it may be more efficient to create a pull request and directly update the documentation instead of creating a draft. So, feel free to directly make a pull request to revise the documentation when it seems suitable.
