# The Documentation Site

## What this site is

The documentation you're reading lives on a separate **documentation site** at `docs.clevelandbusinessmentors.org`, independent of the CRM. It's organized as **Shelves → Books → Chapters → Pages**, grouped by audience:

- **Start Here** — [CRM Introduction Guide](https://docs.clevelandbusinessmentors.org/books/crm-introduction-guide) (for everyone)
- **Mentor Documentation** — [Mentor Guide](https://docs.clevelandbusinessmentors.org/books/mentor-guide)
- **Staff & Administration** — [Client Administration Team Guide](https://docs.clevelandbusinessmentors.org/books/client-administration-team-guide), [Mentor Administration Team Guide](https://docs.clevelandbusinessmentors.org/books/mentor-administration-team-guide)
- **System Administration** — this guide

## The Documentation tab

Both the Production and Sandbox CRMs have a **Documentation** tab in the sidebar that opens this site in a new browser tab. See [System Settings & the Navigation Menu](https://docs.clevelandbusinessmentors.org/link/46) for how that tab is set up.

## Who can read it

The site is **publicly readable** — no login needed — so anyone with the link can reach the guides. **Editing** requires a login.

## Editing content

- Sign in to edit. Pages can be written in a visual editor or Markdown, and every page keeps a **full revision history**, so any change is reviewable and reversible.
- Keep the guides aligned with the CRM: when a screen or process changes, update the matching page.

## How it's hosted & maintained

- The site runs on its own small server, separate from the CRM, with automatic HTTPS.
- Full deploy and maintenance details live in the CBM repository runbook `infrastructure/CBM-Documentation-Site.md`, summarized in [Chapter 6 — Operations & Maintenance](https://docs.clevelandbusinessmentors.org/books/espocrm-system-guide/chapter/operations-maintenance).
