Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We've got answers.

How does the AI Assistant help me write documentation?
The AI Assistant lives directly inside the text editor. Highlight any sentence to have the AI expand it, summarize it, fix grammar, change the tone, or translate it. You can also generate entire structural templates by just typing a prompt.
What is the AI Web Crawler?
The AI Web Crawler is a powerful tool that ingests an external website URL (like your marketing site or legacy docs). It scans the pages up to a configured depth, extracts the content, and intelligently structures it into PapaDoc Markdown pages automatically.
How do I configure the embeddable AI Chatbot?
Every workspace comes with a customizable Chatbot widget. You can adjust its color, avatar, and welcome message. Once embedded on your site, it answers your customers' questions by retrieving context exclusively from your published documentation.
Can I train the AI Chatbot on my own internal data?
Yes! Beyond your published pages, you can upload raw text files or define explicit Q&A rules (e.g., "If asked about pricing, always reply X"). The chatbot uses these data sources to form accurate responses.
How does "Ask AI" search differ from standard search?
Standard search matches keywords. Ask AI uses semantic vector search and LLMs to understand the user's question and generate a synthesized, human-readable answer directly in the search modal, citing the source pages.
How does Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) work?
We offer four roles: Owner (full billing/delete access), Admin (can manage users and settings), Editor (can write and publish docs), and Viewer (read-only access to private spaces).
Can I connect a custom domain to my workspace?
Yes, premium plans allow you to map custom domains (like docs.yourbrand.com). PapaDoc automatically provisions and renews SSL certificates for your custom domain.
How do readers leave feedback on articles?
At the bottom of every public page, readers can click "Helpful", "Meh", or "Not Helpful" and leave an optional text comment. This feeds into your dashboard so you know which docs need improvement.
Are there analytics to track doc performance?
Yes, PapaDoc tracks Page Views, Search Queries (and failed searches without results), and Feedback metrics natively. You can also inject your Google Analytics tracking ID for deeper insights.
What integrations does PapaDoc support?
PapaDoc currently supports integrations with Google Analytics, GitHub (for version syncing), Slack (for notifications), Salesforce (lead capture via Chatbot), and Zendesk.
