The Handbook is the written reference for an application or a component. On an application it holds architecture pages, runbooks, decisions, and files. On a component it holds that component’s runbooks and files.
Open the Handbook tab on the application or component.
Categories on an application
The categories are All, Architecture, Runbooks, Decisions, and Files.
Architecture is the default. Select All to list every page on the application. The other categories focus on one type:
| Category | What you’ll find | More |
|---|---|---|
| Architecture | Pages about how the system is put together, plus views from the scan until those pages exist | Architecture pages |
| Runbooks | How-to pages for operating the system | Runbooks |
| Decisions | Formal choices about what you build, how you build it, and how you work, linked to this application | Decisions |
| Files | Documents uploaded to this application | Artifacts |
Categories on a component
A component’s Handbook has Runbooks and Files for that component. An application’s Runbooks list also includes its components’ runbooks.
Older tabs
The Handbook replaces the older Knowledge, Architecture, Decisions, and Artifacts tabs on the application, and the Knowledge tab on a component. Bookmarks to those tabs still open the matching Handbook category.
