This section is a practical guide for editors and contributors working with content in SAMT-BU Docs. It goes deeper than the general How to Contribute-page and covers workflow, CMS functionality, and handling situations where multiple people edit at the same time.

Quick orientation

SAMT-BU Docs is built on Hugo and published automatically to GitHub Pages via GitHub Actions. Content is edited in three ways:

  1. Decap CMS (recommended for subject-matter experts) – visual browser-based editor
  2. GitHub – direct editing in the browser on github.com
  3. Locally – clone the repo, edit Markdown files, push

Content from several repositories is merged into a single website. Changes are published automatically 1–3 minutes after they are saved (commit pushed to main).
