Initial ToC overhaul #301
Initial ToC overhaul #301
Conversation
…ToC defined in sidebars.ts. Remove material related to ToC autogeneration from various pages' front matter. Reorder, reorganize, and retitle pages according to the new information architecture plan. Standardize page titles to use sentence case.
WalkthroughThis update focuses on restructuring and standardizing the documentation for a project. The changes include updating document titles to be more concise and action-oriented, removing sidebar labels and position metadata from individual markdown files, and refining link text for clarity. The sidebar configuration was overhauled, replacing a simple autogenerated structure with a detailed, hierarchical, and manually curated sidebar that organizes content into thematic categories and subcategories. No functional code or instructional content was altered; all modifications are limited to documentation metadata and navigation structure. Changes

12-12: H1 header mismatch with frontmatter title
The content’s H1 is still “# Docstrings” while the frontmatter title is “Generate docstrings.” Consider updating or removing the H1 to avoid title duplication and ensure consistency.docs/guides/linked-issues.md (1)
2-2: Title case inconsistency: lowercase “issues”.To follow sentence-case conventions (only first word and proper nouns capitalized), please update the frontmatter title:
-title: Work with linked Issues +title: Work with linked issuessidebars.ts (1)
136-164: Consider alphabetizing the supported tools list.While the tools are well-organized in a collapsible category, alphabetizing them would make it easier for users to quickly locate specific tools in this lengthy list.

30-182: Consider adding brief descriptions for main categories in a future updateWhile the current structure is clear and intuitive, consider enhancing it in a future PR by adding brief descriptions for main categories. This could help users better understand what they'll find in each section, especially for categories like "Reference" or "Resources" where the content might be less immediately obvious from the title alone.

30-182: Well-structured ToC reorganization that effectively centers around user journeysThe new sidebar structure successfully transforms the documentation navigation from a feature-based approach to a user journey-oriented organization. The progression from "Get started" through setup, configuration, and various use cases (reviews, issues, reports) to reference materials creates an intuitive flow that guides users through their documentation needs.
The hierarchical organization with thoughtfully nested subcategories (like "Supported Git platforms" under "Add CodeRabbit") makes it easier for users to discover related content without overwhelming them with too many top-level categories.
33-34: Effective use of category labels that follow a consistent patternThe main category labels follow a consistent verb-first pattern ("Get started...", "Add...", "Configure...", "Review...", etc.) that clearly communicates the purpose of each section. This action-oriented approach helps users quickly identify where to find information based on what they're trying to accomplish.
Also applies to: 42-43, 76-77, 86-87, 104-105, 115-116, 125-126, 170-171
33-34: Good use of collapse settings to manage visual complexityThe collapse settings are well-configured, with main categories expanded by default (
collapsed: false) while subcategories are collapsed (collapsed: true). This approach prevents the sidebar from becoming overwhelming while still providing clear access to all content.Also applies to: 48-49, 63-64, 93-94, 135-136

71-80: Consider expanding the "Configure CodeRabbit" section for better discoverabilityThis section contains only three items that seem to cover very different aspects of configuration (general configuration, knowledge base integration, and tools). As the documentation grows, you might want to structure this into subcategories similar to how "Add CodeRabbit to your repository" is organized.
130-162: Consider pagination or alphabetical grouping for the tools listThe "Supported tools" section contains a long list of tools (32 items) that might be overwhelming for users to navigate. Consider organizing these into logical groups (e.g., linters, security tools, etc.) or adding alphabetical dividers to improve navigation.

29-180: Great job on the TOC restructuring around user journeys!The new sidebar organization is an excellent improvement, with logical categories that follow a user's journey from getting started to advanced usage. The hierarchy is clear and intuitive, making it easy for users to find what they need.
43-55: Good use of collapsed subcategories for platform-specific detailsSetting the "Supported Git platforms" category to collapsed by default is a smart choice. It keeps the sidebar clean while still making platform-specific documentation easily accessible when needed.
88-96: Clear separation of analyze/improve features under PR reviewsThe nested category "Analyze and improve your code" under "Review pull requests" is a good way to organize these related but distinct features. Setting it to not be collapsed by default (line 90) makes sense as these are likely commonly used features.
This work implements the first phase of an April 2025 plan to improve the information architecture of the public CodeRabbit documentation.
These commits reorganize the table of contents (ToC) into primary categories based more around user journeys than lists of features.
This is a "low-touch" initial pass:
We plan to introduce all of the above changes with followup PRs, to come soon after the approval and merge of this PR. This PR only sets the stage reframing the ToC to emphasize user activities.
