+## Editing, building, and publishing extension documentation
+
+
+The `datalad-extension-template` uses [Sphinx](https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/index.html#) for document generation
+and suggests using [Read the Docs](https://docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) for automatic documentation building, versioning, and hosting.
+
+Once you are ready to document your extension software, take note of the following:
+
+### Document editing
+
+Edit your `docs/source/index.rst` file using [reStructuredText](https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/restructuredtext/basics.html),
+which is the default plaintext markup language used by Sphinx. Add further documentation as needed.
+
+### Local testing
+
+For testing locally whether your documentation builds and renders correctly, first install the developer requirements from the repository's root directory:
+```
+pip install -r requirements-devel.txt
+```
+
+Then build the documentation locally:
+```
+make -C docs html
+```
+
+Navigate to `docs/build/` and open `index.html` in your browser to view your documentation.
+
+### Remote building and testing
+
+The GitHub Action workflow located at `.github/workflows/docbuild.yml` will run on a push or pull request to your GitHub repository's master/main branch. This builds the documentation remotely and serves as an automated documentation test.
+
+### Publishing your documentation
+
+- If you maintain your extension yourself *outside of the scope of the DataLad GitHub organization*, you can follow [these instructions](https://docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/integrations.html) for integrating your version control system (such as GitHub) with Read the Docs.
+- If your extension is *maintained by the DataLad developer team*, please create an issue asking for help with the setup.
