Topic types
Grafana Labs documentation is made up of different topic types: concept, task, reference, and tutorial. We encourage you to use these topic types when you write content.
Depending on the needs of a particular product area, select a topic type from the following table to learn about each.
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Concept | Provides an overview and background information. Answers the question “What is it?”. |
| Task | Provides numbered steps that describe how to achieve an outcome. Answers the question “How do I?”. |
| Reference | Provides users with the information they might need to refer to during a task. Answers the question “What details do I need to accomplish this task?”. |
| Tutorial | Provides procedures that users can safely reproduce and learn from. Answers the question: “Can you teach me to …?” |
For your convenience, we have created topic templates.
