Elastic Docs contribution guide
Welcome, contributor!
Whether you're a technical writer or you've only edited Elastic docs once or twice, you're a valued contributor. Every word matters!
The version of the docs you want to contribute to determines the tool and syntax you must use to update the docs.
To contribute to earlier versions of the Elastic Stack, you must work with our legacy documentation build system. This system uses AsciiDoc as it's authoring format.
- For simple bugfixes and enhancements --> Contribute on the web
- For complex or multi-page updates --> See the legacy documentation build guide
