1. Managing Documentation Categories & Pages

Access the admin documentation portal at /admin/docs (requires Admin permissions):

  1. Create New Category: Use "+ New Category" form at top to add help categories with custom slugs and descriptions.

  2. Create New Page: Click "+ New Page" to open document editor. Fill in Title, Slug, Category, Excerpt, and SEO Keywords.

  3. Edit Existing Page: Click any page row in pages table to edit content in TipTap editor.

  4. Publish / Draft Toggle: Toggle page status between Draft and Published. Only published pages are visible on public Help Center site.

  5. Delete Page / Category: Click trash icon to remove page or category after confirming.

2. Inserting & Customizing Tables in the Editor

Admins can insert and fully customize tables using the Table menu in the TipTap toolbar:

  • Insert Table: Click the "Table" button in the toolbar and select an initial grid size (such as 2x2, 3x3, or 4x4).

  • Add or Delete Rows: Click inside any table cell, open the Table menu, and click "Add Row Above", "Add Row Below", or "Delete Row".

  • Add or Delete Columns: Click inside any table cell, open the Table menu, and click "Add Column Left", "Add Column Right", or "Delete Column".

  • Toggle Header Row: Click "Toggle Header Row" to convert the top row between standard cells and styled header cells.

  • Custom Table Sizing: Click Table Size in the menu to set overall width: Full 100%, Compact 75%, or Small 50%. Column widths can also be dragged directly in the editor.

  • Table Alignment: Select Table Alignment to align the table Left, Center, or Right on the canvas.

  • Delete Table: Click "Delete Table" to remove the table entirely.

3. Inserting & Customizing Images, Videos, and Callouts

The toolbar provides controls for inserting and styling visual media:

  • Image Uploads & Custom Width: Click the Image icon to upload a file from your computer or insert a URL. Click the Image Options dropdown to set display width (100%, 75%, 50%, 25%) and alignment (Left, Center, Right).

  • Video Embeds: Click the Video icon and paste any YouTube, Vimeo, Loom, or direct MP4 URL to embed a video player.

  • Callout Boxes: Click Info (cyan), Warning (amber), or Tip (lime) buttons to insert visual highlight callout boxes.

  • File Attachments: Click the Paperclip icon to upload downloadable PDF assets or document templates.

4. Syncing Default Documentation Seeds

The platform includes a built-in default documentation seed system (`lib/seed-docs`):

  1. Sync Default Docs Button: Clicking "Sync Default Docs" in Admin Docs upserts missing categories and populates default guide pages without overwriting custom admin edits.

  2. Force Re-Sync / Reset: Admins can trigger a force re-sync via admin server action to update default documentation pages across the entire live site to the latest seed release.

5. Managing Packages, Entitlements & Coupons

Administrators can also manage commercial platform settings across related admin panels:

  • Packages & Pricing: Configure subscription passes, credit pack amounts, and Polar package identifiers at Admin Packages.

  • Feature Entitlements: Assign feature flags, such as Word DOCX download access or premium AI models, to specific packages at Admin Entitlements.

  • Promotions & Coupons: Create and manage discount codes at Admin Coupons.
