How Stylehub works, in 37 pages

Every part of the product, written for the person using it rather than for the person who built it. If you are here for the first time, start with a first published manual. If you are here because something is not doing what you expect, the search field reads the whole set.

New herePublish your first manualSign up, fill the sections, send the link. About twenty minutes.For developersAPI documentationRead any published manual as JSON, its design tokens, or a PDF. Every endpoint with examples in curl, PHP, Node, Python and C sharp.

What the product is, the words it uses, and a first manual online.

What Stylehub is, and the words it usesA brand manual that lives on the web instead of in a PDF, and the eight words the rest of these pages are written in.From nothing to a published manualSign up, name a brand, fill the sections that came with it, and put the link in front of somebody.Brands, manuals and how they fit togetherA brand holds manuals, files and people. A manual is one document with one address. Where the line between them falls.

Building the manual

Sections, every block, comments, reviewing changes first, and what is still missing.

The editor: sections, blocks and savingHow a manual is put together, how a change is saved, and what every control in the editor does.Every block, and what it holdsThe full catalog: what each block is for, the fields it offers, and what it draws on the published page.Text, headings, anchors and linksThe rich text editor, what it allows, and the permanent anchor every section and block carries.Comments on a blockAsking a question where the answer belongs, in threads, with a mail to the people in them.Reviewing changes before they go liveTurn it on and the published page keeps showing the approved version while the editor moves ahead.What is missing, and who is looking after itThe completeness meter, the governance page, and the gaps they are built to find.

How it looks

Templates, color, type and the controls that set the tone.

The presentation templatesFive layouts for the same content, what each one is good at, and which plans include them.Accent color, header image, dark mode and densityThe settings that change how a published manual feels without touching a word of it.Fonts, licenses and specimensChoosing a Google font or uploading your own, recording who may use it, and the specimen readers can type into.Color, contrast, tints and shadesHow a color is stored, the four formats a reader can copy, the contrast rating, and the scale built in OKLCH.ThemesA light and a dark set of surfaces, described once and exported with the rest of the tokens.

Publishing

Addresses, your own domain, who may see it, and what readers get.

Publishing and unpublishingWhat the publish button changes, what a reader sees before it is pressed, and how to take a page down.Addresses: subdomains and slugsThe three shapes an address can take, which manual answers at the root, and the names that are reserved.Using your own domainThe DNS record to add, what happens while it is checked, and how a certificate is issued.Who may see a manualPublic, unlisted, private and password protected, plus an end date after which the page says so.Search engines and the head of a pageTitles, descriptions, the sitemap a brand serves, and the switch that keeps a manual out of an index.What a reader can do on a published pageSearch, the section list, copying a value, downloading a file, dark mode, printing and the PDF.

Files

Uploading, folders, editing, and where each file is used.

Uploading filesWhat may be uploaded, how big, what happens to it on the way in, and what to do when one fails.Folders, categories and tagsThree ways to find a file again, what each is for, and which one to reach for.Renaming, cropping, replacing and duplicatingRename, crop, replace or duplicate a file, which of the four changes the manuals using it, and putting an earlier file back.Where a file is usedThe list of manuals and blocks that reference a file, and what a delete would leave behind.The trash, storage and the quotaHow long a deleted file is kept, what counts against the quota, and what to do when it is full.

People

Invitations, roles, custom permissions and handing a brand over.

Inviting peopleMaking an invite link for an address, choosing the role, how long the link lasts, and what the person sees when they open it.Roles and what each one may doOwner, admin, editor and viewer, set against the thirteen permissions they are built from.Custom roles and folder accessBuilding a role from the permission list, and letting a folder answer to some roles and not others.Handing a brand over, moving a manual, leavingGiving a brand to another account, moving a manual between brands, and the difference between leaving and closing.

History and numbers

What changed, restoring a version, and what visitors did.

Activity, versions and restoringWho changed what with the old value beside the new one, snapshots you can open, and a restore you can undo.What visitors did, and what is not measuredViews, devices, referrers, which sections are read, which files are clicked, and how often the API is called.

Exports

Design tokens and the PDF, from the dashboard. The API has documentation of its own.

Design tokens, in thirteen formatsWhat a token is here, which block feeds which group, and the file a build should read.The manual as a PDFA document drawn from the real page by a browser on the server, and the limits on asking for one.

Plans and account

What each plan includes, paying, downgrading and your data.

What each plan includesThe three plans set side by side, every limit named, and what happens at each one.Paying, yearly, invoices and cancelingHow a plan is bought, what yearly saves, where invoices live, and what canceling does and when.What a downgrade freezesNothing is deleted. What is over the new limit stops being editable, you choose which, and upgrading lifts it.Your account, your data, and closing itName, password, dates, the picture, downloading everything you have, and what closing an account removes.
