Prowler documentation is built using [Mintlify](https://www.mintlify.com/docs), allowing contributors to easily add or enhance documentation.

## Installation and Setup

<Steps>
  <Step title="Install Mintlify CLI">
    ```bash
    npm i -g mint
    ```
    For detailed instructions, check the [Mintlify documentation](https://www.mintlify.com/docs/installation).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Preview Documentation Locally">
    Start the local development server to preview changes in real-time.

    ```bash
    mint dev
    ```

    A local preview of your documentation will be available at http://localhost:3000
  </Step>

  <Step title="Make Documentation Changes">
    Edit existing Markdown (.mdx) files inside the `docs` directory or add new documents.

    For reference about formatting, check the [Mintlify documentation](https://www.mintlify.com/docs/create/text).

    To add new sections or files, update the [`docs/docs.json`](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/blob/master/docs/docs.json) file to include them in the navigation.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Submit Changes">
    Once documentation updates are complete, submit a pull request for review.

    The Prowler team will assess and merge contributions.
