## ‌About this Guide‌

This guide focuses on everything you need to know to install, configure, use, and customize the Polarity Community Edition.‌

## Other Available Guides‌ <a href="#other-available-guides" id="other-available-guides"></a>

If this guide is not what you're looking for, we also have two other guides that may be helpful:‌

1. ​[The Polarity Enterprise Guide](https://docs.polarity.io/user-guide) - Focuses on everything you need to know to install, configure, use, and customize Polarity Enterprise.<br>
2. ​[The Developer Guide](https://docs.polarity.io/integrations) - Focuses on everything a developer would need to know for creating Integrations.‌

## Using the Search Feature‌ <a href="#using-the-search-feature" id="using-the-search-feature"></a>

The search bar is located at the top right-hand corner of any page in this guide. However, it's only visible when you are scrolled all the way to the top of a page.‌

The search will be run across all three user guides and results are organized by guide and then by section.

## Using the Right-hand Navigation Contents List‌ <a href="#using-the-right-hand-navigation-contents-list" id="using-the-right-hand-navigation-contents-list"></a>

On pages that contain multiple sections, you will notice a list of that page's content on the right-hand side of your screen.‌

This serves as an indicator of where you are *generally* scrolled to on a page. You also have the option of clicking on an item in the list to jump directly to that section.‌
