Research direction

Start by reviewing the current navigation and section structure on docs.localgovdrupal.org, then consider where developer-facing how-to content about enabling and configuring content lock would fit. The issue is complete when the documentation location and audience structure are agreed and recorded.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Discussing how-to documentation in the product backlog group with @willguv and @stephen-cox.

The case in point is adding https://www.drupal.org/project/content_lock

Once we add it, it will probabyl not be enabled by default on a stock install.

So we would like to be able to direct people at a clear "how to enable and configure content lock".

I guess this best lives on the https://docs.localgovdrupal.org/ site, but where?

Some of this how-to documentation could be for multiple audiences, but probably mainly developers.

  1. A new top-level section for "How tos" ?
  2. A new section under developers for "How tos" ?
  3. a seperate section for "How-tos" which is not necessarily linked to from the top level primary links?

@msayoung do you have thoughts on this?
