title: What Are Divio Docs?
---
The [Divio documentation system](https://documentation.divio.com/) is a software documentation paradigm that is based on functionality and the premise that the best documentation is specific, concise, and purposeful. Divio traditionally consists of four main categories: tutorials, how-to guides, reference guides, and explanations.

Divio traditionally consists of four main categories: tutorials, how-to guides, reference guides, and explanations.
In our docs, we have used this guideline to craft a unique set of docs which include [getting started](../../getting-started.md), [how-to guides](../../how-to-guides.md) (including [new](../../pages-for-subheaders/new-user-guides.md) and [advanced user guides](../../pages-for-subheaders/advanced-user-guides.md)), [reference guides](../../reference-guides.md), [explanations](../../explanations.md), an [FAQ section](../../faq.md), [troubleshooting tips](../../troubleshooting.md), and the ability to [contribute to Rancher](../../contribute-to-rancher.md).

## How-to Guides
How-to guides serve to describe practical steps for users to accomplish some task. In Rancher, we break down how-to guides further into [new user guides](#new-user-guides) and [advanced user guides](#advanced-user-guides).

### New User Guides
New user guides, also known as tutorials, describe practical steps for users to follow in order to complete some concrete action. These docs are known as "learning-oriented" docs in which users learn by "doing".

Reference guides are technical descriptions of processes or products that users can study. Reference guides are designed to be "information-oriented" and their primary function is to describe.
These docs may also include some usage steps in the course of description; however, their purpose is not to explain concepts nor to outline steps to achieve tasks.
These docs may also include some usage steps in the course of description; however, their purpose is not to explain concepts nor to outline steps to achieve tasks.
The users who utilize reference guides are knowledgeable with the Rancher product as well as how to use it. They will benefit from detailed descriptions of something to be used when needing to refer to specifics of usage.
Good examples of Rancher reference guides would be the [Rancher Manager architecture](../../pages-for-subheaders/rancher-manager-architecture.md) and [cluster configuration guides](../../pages-for-subheaders/cluster-configuration.md).

## New Structure Goals
Our previous Rancher documentation focused on individual features and topics; the new Divio paradigm prioritizes function and cohesion.
Our previous Rancher documentation focused on individual features and topics; the new Divio paradigm prioritizes function and cohesion.
Because the previous docs structure was not based on the Divio paradigm, not every doc as it is written currently will fall neatly into a user guide or a reference, for example. Some docs may include elements of several kind of documentation functions.
As such, we have worked to move our existing documentation into the new paradigm based on each doc's function. Moving forward, we will be creating, rewriting, and reshaping our docs as needed to more closely align with the Divio structure, purpose, and its design concepts.

Ultimately, the finished product will much more cohesively and effectively assist our users by emphasizing functionality over individual topic or feature-based docs.
