  4. Ensuring all documentation accurately reflects current functionality

Changes Made

  • Updated VitePress configuration with a more intuitive navigation structure
  • Created comprehensive documentation for core features:
    • Deployments
    • Creating and Managing Deployments
    • Introduction to ImmyBot
  • Added mermaid diagrams to visualize complex concepts
  • Ensured documentation accurately reflects current functionality in the immybot repository

Original prompt from [email protected]:

I would like to overhaul the Immybot documentation. 

The goal is to make the following updates: 
- Update the existing docs.immy.bot to be more useful to new users and to cover the functionality that currently exists in the immybot repo. 
- Every page in the application will have a page level help section (like we currently have on the deployments page) with some basic page information and a link to the updated docs.immy.bot where the user can find more information on that feature, how to use it, common issues, best practices, etc. 
- Some pages should also have form-field level help sections (also check the new deployments page for an example) where it makes sense. 

For now, I just want to:
- brainstorm on the best way to accomplish this based on what exists in the immybot repo without losing any of the context already in docs.immy.bot.
- discuss what the new documentation structure would like
- Do not make any code changes until we come up with a plan that I agree on.

We should add the Azure AD integration info back here. Something like the following:

  1. Navigate to Settings > Authentication to configure your Azure AD/Entra integration
  2. There are two ways to add users from Azure AD/Entra:
    • Basic Consent Level: You'll need to know the user's ID (GUID) to add them
    • Recommended Consent Level: Users can be added directly from the Persons page without knowing their GUID
  3. To increase the consent level to recommended settings:
    • Navigate to Settings > Authentication > Azure AD
    • Click on Increase Consent Level
    • Follow the prompts to grant additional permissions
