With the launch of the Updated UI, we have also launched a new Documentation site! This article provides an overview of the updated Documentation site and serves to give you a quick overview of how to use it.
Search
You will notice that there are multiple search bars:
The Search bar in the top menu (1) will search the entire Documentation space, including Developer sites.
- The search bar on top of the page tree (2) will only search the CloudControl Documentation space (UI documentation) and is available whenever the Page Tree is expanded (visible).
The search bar above the MCP 1.0 Documentation section (3) will also search the CloudControl Documentation space.
Use one of the search bars to locate Help or How-to articles. Search for keywords that will help you locate the article you're looking for. For example, if you need help connecting to the Secure VPN, type " Secure VPN" in one of the search bars. The system will provide suggestions for related articles:
