Packaging documentation
Summary
In this course you will learn how to use Elements to build documentation sets that add Salesforce metadata documentation, process steps and in-app help.
Documentation packaging allows the documentation on Salesforce metadata to be packaged from one Org and then applied to another Org with version control and release management. This could be used by an ISV to provide technical, support and help documentation for their managed packages, by SIs to package up their IP, or for customers to copy documentation between multiple Orgs.
Learning objectives
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Understand versioning logic associated with documentation packages
