Umbraco Documentation project
Reading & using the docs
This is the documentation project for Umbraco. The scope of this project is to provide overviews of concepts, tutorials, example code, and links to API reference.
What's in the documentation
Getting started
Getting started (available here) is an introduction to Umbraco containing explanations of basic concepts and short tutorials.
Implementation
Implementation (available here) is an overview of Umbracos structure and pipeline.
Developers Reference
Reference (available here) is a collection of API references specifically for developers working with and extending Umbraco.
Extending
Extending (available here) is documentation on customizing and extending the backoffice.
Tutorials
Tutorials (available here) is a collection of the more extensive tutorials used in the documentation.
Markdown conventions
The Umbraco Documentation uses Markdown for all of the documentation, please read about our Markdown Conventions.
Annotating a document
To add version information and extra keywords, every document can be annotated using YAML.
Multi version documentation
Every new version of Umbraco introduces new features. This means that every document might not work for your possibly older version.
Therefore we introduced 2 different mechanisms:
- The YAML metadata describing
versionFrom
andversionTo
. - The possibility to add multiple files about the same topic.
We ❤️ valuable contributions from everyone who are willing to help. It does not matter to us, if it's something trivial like, correcting spelling mistakes or raising an issue or writing a tutorial! Every little help counts and it helps make Umbraco easier to use for everyone. Otherwise, bug reports, bug fixes and any feedback on Umbraco is always appreciated. Look at the Contributor Guidelines to learn how you can get involved and help with the Umbraco Documentation.
