Documentation panel

Every tile in the Integrations block on the Universe page can show its own setup help in the Documentation panel. Open it when you want the steps for one tool without leaving DataMind OS.

Open and close the panel

1. Open Universe in the sidebar and find the tile for the tool you are setting up.
2. Click the tile itself, away from its buttons. The Documentation panel opens on the right, and the tile you are viewing stays highlighted.
3. On the iOS Devices and Android Devices tiles, the main button is Documentation. It opens the same panel, because those tiles have no file to copy or download.
4. To close the panel, click the same tile again, or click the X in the panel header. A screen reader announces the X as Close Documentation.

The panel shows one view at a time: a tile's help or the Connection Settings. Opening one replaces the other. Click another tile to switch the help to it, or click Connection Settings to bring the settings back. For the settings view itself, see Connection settings.

What the help shows

Help pages are written for each tool and render as full pages next to the tiles.

• Structure: help pages use headings, lists, tables and code blocks, with note callouts, cards and step timelines for longer guides.
• Code blocks: each one carries a language chip. The chip shows the language name in capitals, or CODE when the page does not name one.
• Links: they open in a new tab, so the panel stays as it is.
• Videos and embedded pages: they appear as a player or a frame. The next two sections explain how they behave.

Play a video

When a help page includes a video, it shows an inline player.

• Play or pause: click the video frame.
• Controls: the bar appears while the video is paused. It holds the seek bar, the time in m:ss, the speed button, the volume control and the fullscreen button.
• Seek: drag the seek bar, or hover it to preview a target time.
• Keyboard: with the player focused, press Space to play or pause, and ArrowLeft or ArrowRight to jump 5 seconds back or forward.
• Speed: the speed button cycles through 0.5x, 0.75x, 1x, 1.25x, 1.5x and 2x.
• Full screen: click the fullscreen button. Click it again to leave full screen.

Embedded pages

Not every embed is a video. A help page can embed a web page instead. It shows in a frame of a fixed height, with its address printed below it. A frame with no address shows nothing.

When the help does not load

• While the panel opens, it shows Loading documentation.
• If the help index does not load, the panel shows Couldn't load documentation index, with a short reason underneath.
• If one help page does not load, the panel shows Couldn't load this documentation page.
• If the tile has no help yet, the panel shows No documentation available, with Documentation for this integration hasn't been added yet. below it.

For the two errors, close the panel and open the tile again. If the errors return, see Troubleshooting integrations. If a tile has no help yet, use the page for that tool in this section instead, such as DBeaver, Power BI or Claude Desktop.

Questions, answered

Why did Documentation replace my Connection Settings?

The panel shows one view at a time. Opening a tile's help replaces the settings, and clicking Connection Settings brings them back.

Where are the video controls?

They appear while the video is paused. Click the video to pause it, and the bar with the seek bar, time, speed, volume and fullscreen buttons shows up. While the video plays, the bar stays out of the way.

Can I control a video with the keyboard?

Yes, when the player has focus. Click the frame once, then press Space to play or pause, and ArrowLeft or ArrowRight to jump 5 seconds back or forward.

How do I change the playback speed?

Click the speed button in the controls. It cycles through 0.5x, 0.75x, 1x, 1.25x, 1.5x and 2x.

How do I watch a video in full screen?

Click the fullscreen button in the video controls. Click it again to return to the page.

Do links in the help open in a new tab?

Yes. Links in a help page open in a new tab, so the panel and the tiles stay as they are.

What does the CODE chip above a code block mean?

The help page did not name a language for that block, so the chip falls back to CODE. When a page names a language, the chip shows it in capitals, such as SQL.

Why does an embed show a frame with an address instead of a video?

That embedded item is a web page, not a playable video, so it shows in a fixed-height frame with its address below it. If the help page sets no address for the frame, nothing appears there.

Can I open the help for two tiles at once?

No. The panel shows one help page at a time. Click another tile to switch the help to it, or click the same tile again to close it.
