🧩 Understanding the interface

The main screen has three parts. The left side holds your inputs. Here, you type project names and descriptions. The right side shows a live preview. This lets you see the finished look. The top menu bar contains buttons to save your work or open a new project. You can switch between light and dark mode in the settings menu.

📁 Managing your files

You should keep all your created files in a folder named Project Docs. This keeps your computer clean. If you need to edit a file later, open the application and select your file from the recent list. You can update your documentation anytime as your project grows.

📋 Best practices for documentation

Good documentation tells a story. Explain why you built the software. Tell the user what problems the software solves. Use clear headings to break up long text. Include instructions that a beginner can follow. Link to other helpful resources if necessary. Keep sentences short to make reading easier. Update your documentation every time you change your project.
