Documentation during development [development-documentation]

Docs should be written during development and accompany PRs when relevant. There are multiple types of documentation, and different places to add each.

End user documentation [_end_user_documentation]

Documentation about user facing features should be written in asciidoc at https://github.com/elastic/kibana/tree/main/docs.

To build the docs, you must clone the elastic/docs repo as a sibling of your {{kib}} repo. Follow the instructions in that project’s README for getting the docs tooling set up.

To build the docs:

node scripts/docs.js --open

REST APIs [_rest_apis]

REST APIs should be documented using the following recommended formats:

• API doc template
• API object definition template

General developer documentation and guidelines [_general_developer_documentation_and_guidelines]

General developer guildlines and documentation, like this right here, should be written in asciidoc at https://github.com/elastic/kibana/tree/main/docs/extend.
