It seems to me that there is an enormous amount of valuable and often critical information about use of pipelines that is being posted in a variety of places, Slack pipelines, Slack General, Community postings, User guide and so forth.  I have been on calls where someone asks about s feature or function and the response is that it will be posted in the blog or forum or slack. It seems to me that it is critical that users will have a single place to go where they can enter keywords and questions and have a robust response repository. The User Guide is one of the finest in the industry but much of the critical information is not making it there.

I agree. 

There have also been many new features introduced in the last six months, which is fantastic, but there is no documentation other than the Release Notes.  For example new syntax for formula rich text field to open as pop-up and a new feature to capture the Record ID number on a new record and be able to use it in a formula.  

I think right now the pace of change is exceeding the capacity of their documentation department. And the documentation department needs to put the brain trust together to figure out where the staff should live.

    Hi Cullen,

    Thank you for the feedback on our help documentation and information on Pipelines, things are spread out right now but centralizing them is something we agree we need to do work on. Right now you can find the most technical and clear cut content on our User Guide/Help, more how to or use case driven examples in our Community/Slack, and then educational focused materials in our University which can be a little daunting when you are trying to find the right flavor of guidance for your needs. We are trying with things like our Automations to Pipelines Hub or our Code Pages Sample App to collect examples from across our various channels into a more central location. Feedback like this on where builders are getting stuck or frustrated finding content is very helpful as we keep trying to consolidate. If there is anything specific you are looking for in the short term don't hesitate to reach out to me as I am happy to help you find content or in the cases of an absence of examples see if we can't create something to help. 

    To Marks point on examples for how to create Pop ups and capturing Record ID specifically it is a little counter intuitive but we have some examples of that in the Code Page Sample app for anyone wanting to see some of that code in action. Also I'm definitely passing on the feedback we are getting about specific channel documentation in Pipelines to the team. Please keep the feedback on your experiences coming as it really helps to drive our priorities.

    I almost forgot to plug Bree's So You Want to Learn Pipelines! article as well as a place to find example apps, articles, and resources she collected.
