Online Documentation

The Docusaurus site is maintained in oo-software/oodi-net-help, under src.

Languages And Structure​

English source pages are in src/docs. German and French pages are in src/i18n/<locale>/docusaurus-plugin-content-docs/current, with identical relative file paths. The three site languages, en, de, and fr, are configured in src/docusaurus.config.ts; application UI languages do not automatically create translated manuals.

src/sidebars.ts defines navigation and PDF chapter order. Translate homepage text in src/i18n/<locale>/code.json and category labels in the locale's current.json.

Use current application labels. A plan stores its configuration, a version is a saved restore point, and a run is one execution. Distinguish a backup destination from the target being overwritten by a restore or clone.

Keep existing page paths and the explicit anchors used by F1 help, even when the visible heading changes. In particular, rescue-media-fortress-mode#fortress-mode remains the application link for the renamed recovery environment.

The help-ID mapping is in the application repository at src/OOSoftware.DiskImage.Shared/Configuration/OEM/SharedGlobals.cs. Check every mapped route and anchor in all built locales.

Documentation Review: 9 October 2026​

The review compared the published English and German pages with the application changelog, UI resources, and implementation on B_OODI_ENG_23.0, through commit 2e84cdf47f5547c4d523fc8e8fb2d2ee0b30f0be. The documentation starting point was 881a5f2; the published site still included the removed recovery-partition validation switch.

Unfinished design proposals were not presented as available features. In particular, the automatic offer to make an existing backup drive bootable still has unfinished UI and orchestration work in docs/design/bootable-backup-drive.md in the application repository.

A source update does not publish the site. Deploy the rebuilt site and regenerated manuals through the normal release process, then check the public pages again.

Local Development​

From src:

npm ci
npm start

Build all configured languages and check TypeScript with:

npm run build
npm run typecheck

Generate the PDF manuals for all languages with:

npm run build:pdf

Screenshot capture guidance is maintained in SCREENSHOTS.md at the repository root. Add real, current, localized screenshots when available; do not expose capture instructions or missing-image placeholders in the user guide.
