Open Documentation Initiative for SAP Datasphere: Provide Feedback and Help us Improve the Documentation

[cindy_venet]

We need you! With the Open Documentation contribution process, you can now reach the user assistance team and provide feedback on the help portal documentation. SAP Datasphere documentation is made for you. We are trying to make it as easy and understandable as possible, but we need you to improve it.
Get to know the idea, learn how to do it, and start contributing via GitHub! 

 

The new Open Documentation contribution process allows users (you!) and content creators (user assistance team) to collaborate in a faster, better, and more direct way. While looking at the available help, you see something that needs to be improved? Send us feedbacks and start a conversation in the form of an issue. Found something that doesn’t look quite right, and you know how it could be improved? Contribute to edit the content and start a conversation with us in the form of a pull request. 

What do you need?

The onboarding process is quite easy and you need only 2 things:

• A GitHub account (it’s free, and easy to set up).


• Knowledge of the Contribution Guidelines process (If you have questions or doubts, you can directly raise an issue within the guidelines).

 

How does it work?

Are you ready to start? You can now collaborate on the content for 3 guides:

• Integrating Data and Managing Spaces


• Acquiring, Preparing, and Modeling Data


• Administering SAP Datasphere

Collaborate by using standard GitHub processes: use pull requests to suggest changes to existing content, and issues to provide feedback and start a discussion with us.
