Repository setup

Info

A repository is where the guide data is stored. The target environment is not directly tied to a specific repo but the client could connect to different repos to present different guides. Normally customers have one repo for production use and other repos for authoring of new guides.

A repo can also hold specific configurations such as extensions to the built in definition for new targets or custom app states.

Client installation

Info

The client is distributed as a web extension, this means that it is not actually installed to the target environment but rather in selected client browsers. This have several benefits such as making it possible to add guides to inaccessible cloud platforms but also ensuring a minimal footprint and retaining 'OOTB'. On top of that you are not dependent on server deployment to get the guides in either.

Manual client installation is primarily used for trial or authoring. For enterprise distribution and proper rollouts on numerous clients registry is preferred and normally pushed by IT.
