Other Docs & User Guides

Theneo isn't just for API documentation—it also empowers teams to create non-API documents, such as technical guides, onboarding docs, tutorials, help centers, product manuals, and more.

Editing Your Docs in Theneo

Once the project is created, you have two ways to start working on your documentation:

A. Use the Theneo Editor

Enjoy a Notion- and Figma-like editing experience with:

Rich text formatting
Drag & drop content blocks
Real-time editing and live preview
Easy collaboration with teammates

Everything you need to build modern documentation without writing a single line of code.

Recommended Layout: Single Page Template

For guides and other non-API docs, such as:

Tutorials
Onboarding walkthroughs
Step-by-step how-tos

We highly recommend using the Single Page Template.
