Publishing Documentation

This chapter describes how to publish your documentation. First, create a documentation release process that aligns with your software release process. The documentation release process should contain the timeline for publishing, assign responsibilities for final content review and publication, and designate where to publish content. Then, assign a single, final approver who is responsible for allowing or stopping a documentation release. List this approver in the publishing timeline. Test the documentation before release. Verify that the documentation is accurate, code samples work and are adequately described, and that content meets the bar for publication. After your documentation goes live, announce its availability through channels such as product announcements, blog posts, customer emails, or release notes.
