Markdown cheet-sheet

You can find our markdown cheet-sheet here.

Edit an existing page

On every page there is an "Edit" button on the right side of the page.

You can click on it, edit the page, and suggest the change as a pull request. The Overwolf team will review it, and merge it after confirmation.

Add a new page

In order to add a new page, you should:

1. Create a new file with a md (markdown) extension.
   Make sure to add it in the right section/folder (api, support, getting-started etc).

2. Add a page ID block on the top of your page. An example:

---
id: dev-console-update //unique identifier, the page URL. no spaces
title: this is the main page header
sidebar_label:  this is the menu title
---

3. Add the new page ID as a new entry in the website\sidebars.json file.
   make sure to add it in the right location. You can use these docs template as a baseline for new pages:

• API page template
• Game Events page template

Add a new game events status page

In order to list a game in the game events status page, you should follow these steps:

1. Create new MD file in the "status" section. For example: \docs\status\teamfight-tactics.md.
   The template should be like the other files in that folder. Don't forget to change the GameID.

2. Add the new page to the site menu: website\sidebars.json.
   You should place it under Service\Games Events Status section.

3. Open the file website\static\js\games_metadata.js and add a record for the new file that you just created. (make sure to add the icons assets in two sizes: 60X60 and 30X30)
