Instances

Last modified: 31 January 2025

An instance is a set of content files (topics) organized into a hierarchical structure (table of contents) in a tree file with a unique ID. You build an instance into a single help website, user guide, or some other output.

By default, a typical Writerside documentation project contains one instance. Add more instances if you need to produce multiple help outputs, for example, to document several products or editions of a product, produce documentation for different audiences, types of users, or output formats. You can reuse any content in your documentation project across instances. For more information, see Single sourcing and content reuse.
