How to use Boulder Opal documentation

Understand how to use the different types of Boulder Opal documentation

Software products are only as good as their documentation.

Boulder Opal is incredibly flexible giving you the power to solve nearly any challenge that arises in your research. That flexibility also means it can occasionally be overwhelming to find the help you need. To make sure you succeed we’ve built a comprehensive set of documentation providing coverage of everything you need to go from concept to execution.

We follow the Diátaxis framework to help improve organization. Accordingly you’ll see tags on all of our documents indicating the kind of documentation you’ll see so you can match the docs to the tasks you want to undertake. You’ll see each kind scattered throughout our documentation site.

In addition you’ll find a comprehensive search function on our Docs page as well as a set of FAQs for quick reference. But if you ever get lost, just look for the chat icon in the lower-right of your browser and we’ll be happy to help!

*Note: Application notes are formally equivalent to topics under Diátaxis, but we segregate them for convenience.
