Propose Changes While Viewing Documentation

While viewing documentation, you can easily propose a change by selecting suggest edit from the menu under the GitHub icon. The page you are viewing then opens in GitHub, in edit mode. When you save your edits, create a new branch, commit your changes, and create a new Pull Request, to have your changes reviewed by the Open edX team.

To build documentation, inside the root folder, run:

make html

Sphinx should build the HTML files locally.

You should ensure the documentation builds with no errors or warnings when submitting a pull request.
