## Documentation Site Structure

Our documentation is split into 4 categories: Tutorials, How-To's, References, and Explanations.

### **Tutorials**

**Tutorials** are learning-oriented videos that walk through a series of steps to complete a project of some kind. These pages are oriented towards the *how* rather than the *what*.

### **How-To's**&#x20;

**How-To's** are goal-oriented instructions that take you step-by-step through a task to solve a problem. How-To's generally assume some knowledge and understanding of the software and focus on the task at hand.

### **Reference**

**Reference** documentation is information-oriented. Reference material will typically be simple and to the point, containing definitions and descriptions for items in the software.

### **Explanation**

**Explanation** documentation is understanding-oriented. The objective of these pages is to take a wider view of the topics within and dive into the nuances of how and why things work as they do.
