What

Goal is to improve the usability of docs for Cloud users by centering on setup within the app.

Creates new in-app docs for:

  • Asana
  • BambooHR
  • Bing Ads
  • SendGrid
  • Shopify

Update existing docs with improved setup information (so non-Cloud users can benefit too):

  • Shopify

Update existing docs with OSS tags

  • Amplitude
  • US Census
  • Waiteraid
  • Webflow
  • Woocommerce

馃毃 User Impact 馃毃

Are there any breaking changes? What is the end result perceived by the user?
None
