Find documentation
Use the product switcher when you know which product your question belongs to. Use search when you know the task, feature, or error but not the page.
Choose the right area
Open the switcher at the top of the sidebar and choose a documentation area.
- Choose Datastat Docs for questions about documentation, search, publishing, or the agent.
- Choose a product such as JudoNet for instructions about that product.
The sidebar changes to show the selected area's sections. Switching areas does not change or duplicate any source page.
Example
To learn how Video Ingester works, choose Video Ingester and open its overview. To learn how the agent finds that overview, stay in Datastat Docs.
Browse when you know the subject
Sidebar groups follow the way a reader normally learns and uses a product. Start with the overview, continue to operating guides, and use reference or troubleshooting pages when you need a specific detail.
A page may link to another product when a workflow crosses product boundaries. Those links point to the maintained destination rather than copying its instructions.
Search when you know the words
Open Search docs in the header, or press ⌘K on macOS or Ctrl+K on Windows and Linux. Enter a short, specific phrase. Useful searches include:
- a product name, such as
JudoNet; - a feature, such as
queue status; - an action, such as
install; - an error or symptom, such as
scoreboard disconnected.
Search checks only the documentation area you are currently reading. Switch areas first when you need results for another product.
The website search matches words in titles, headings, descriptions, keywords, and page text. Ask the Datastat agent when you want to use a full natural-language question.
Check before you act
Before using instructions for an important task:
- Confirm that the page is for the correct product and workflow.
- Read any warning or prerequisite near the relevant step.
- Check the Last reviewed date in the page footer.
- Follow the canonical page instead of an old pasted copy.
If a page looks stale, incomplete, or inconsistent with another page, treat that as a documentation problem. Send the canonical link and the affected heading to the documentation team so the source can be corrected.
Share the source
Copy the URL from the address bar when another person should read the page. Use Copy Markdown in the footer when a technical tool needs the page text.
The URL is the durable reference. The copied text is a snapshot and may become stale, so include the URL whenever possible.
Ask instead of browse
The Datastat agent follows the same published sources and can combine the relevant parts into a concise answer. It also reports when the evidence is missing, old, conflicting, or outside your access. Read How the Datastat agent answers for the full flow.
