Contributing to O3DE Documentation

Welcome to Open 3D Engine (O3DE) documentation!

O3DE documentation is driven by contributors like you. Whether you want to report an issue, document a feature, provide a tutorial, or join the O3DE Documentation and Community Special Interest Group (SIG-Docs-Community), this guide will provide you the information you need. Your participation is critical. Large or small, your contributions chart the course of O3DE documentation.

Becoming a contributor

Although there are many avenues for discussion with O3DE users and contributors, all official communication regarding O3DE docs is done through pull requests (PRs) and issues in the o3de/o3de.org GitHub repository .

O3DE welcomes feedback, suggestions, and improvements from all, no matter their level of experience. To learn how you can be an inclusive contributor, see the O3DE Code of Conduct.
