# DataHub Docs Overview
DataHub's project documentation is hosted at [datahubproject.io](https://docs.datahub.com/docs)
## Types of Documentation
### Feature Guide
A Feature Guide should follow the [Feature Guide Template](_feature-guide-template.md), and should provide the following value:
- At a high level, what is the concept/feature within DataHub?
- Why is the feature useful?
- What are the common use cases of the feature?
- What are the simple steps one needs to take to use the feature?
When creating a Feature Guide, please remember to:
- Provide plain-language descriptions for both technical and non-technical readers
- Avoid using industry jargon, abbreviations, or acryonyms
- Provide descriptive screenshots, links out to relevant YouTube videos, and any other relevant resources
- Provide links out to Tutorials for advanced use cases
_Not all Feature Guides will require a Tutorial._
### Tutorial
A Tutorial is meant to provide very specific steps to accomplish complex workflows and advanced use cases that are out of scope of a Feature Guide.
Tutorials should be written to accomodate the targeted persona, i.e. Developer, Admin, End-User, etc.
_Not all Tutorials require an associated Feature Guide._
## Docs Best Practices
### Embedding GIFs and or Screenshots
- Store GIFs and screenshots in [datahub-project/static-assets](https://github.com/datahub-project/static-assets); this minimizes unnecessarily large image/file sizes in the main repo
- Center-align screenshots and size down to 70% - this improves readability/skimability within the site
Example snippet:
```
<p align="center">
<img width="70%" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datahub-project/static-assets/main/imgs/impact-analysis-export-full-list.png"/>
</p>
```
- Use the "raw" GitHub image link (right click image from GitHub > Open in New Tab > copy URL):
- Good: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datahub-project/static-assets/main/imgs/dbt-test-logic-view.png
- Bad: https://github.com/datahub-project/static-assets/blob/main/imgs/dbt-test-logic-view.png
