| # DataHub Docs Overview
 | |
| 
 | |
| DataHub's project documentation is hosted at [datahubproject.io](https://datahubproject.io/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
