Choose what to generate

The Generate documentation dialog offers to run the flow now and write the guides from that run, or to write them from a run that already happened. Both formats, the how-to guide and the interactive tour, are selected by default, so clear one if you only want the other. Click Run & Generate to start. The flow runs against your application, and a draft of each selected format appears under the flow's guides for you to review and publish.

Note
The number shown on Run & Generate reflects how many formats you have selected.

Prerequisites

  • A flow already saved in your DynoDocs organization

Troubleshooting

  • You only want one format: clear the format you don't need in the Generate documentation dialog before you generate, since both are selected by default.
  • You don't want to run the flow again: choose the option to write the guides from a run that already happened instead of running it now.
