Docs Mode
Build a browsable in-widget help center using a Collection → Category → Article hierarchy backed by Notion pages.
Docs Mode
The Docs surface adds a browsable help center inside your widget. Users can search and navigate articles without leaving your app.
Structure
Docs are organised in a three-level hierarchy, hand-authored in the Lumio dashboard:
Collection
└── Category
└── Article (a synced Notion page)- Collection — the top-level grouping (e.g.
Getting Started,Billing). - Category — a section within a collection (e.g.
Account,Payments). - Article — a single help page. Each article is backed by one Notion page from a source bound to the
docsrole.
Setting up Docs
- Bind a Source with the
docsrole — in the dashboard, bind a Notion source to your widget and set the role todocs. See Connecting Notion. - Sync — pull Notion pages into Lumio.
- Build the tree — in the dashboard, go to Docs and create Collections and Categories. Add Articles by selecting synced Notion pages.
- Publish — the structure is live immediately after saving.
Editing content
Edit the Notion page, then re-sync in the Lumio dashboard. The updated article appears in the widget after sync.
