## Adding New Workflows

### Step 1: Find Helpdesk Article

1. Check `HELPDESK_TO_FEATURE_MAPPING.md` for mapped articles
2. Find article in `parsed/[category]/[article-slug].md`
3. Read article content

### Step 2: Extract Workflow

1. Identify step-by-step process
2. Extract key information:
   - Purpose
   - Prerequisites
   - Step-by-step instructions
   - Important notes/warnings
   - Use cases/examples

### Step 3: Add to Feature Documentation

1. Open relevant feature documentation file
2. Find "Detailed Workflows from Helpdesk" section
3. Add new workflow following existing format:

   ```markdown
   #### Workflow: [Workflow Name]

   **Purpose:** [What this workflow accomplishes]

   **Steps:**

   1. [Step 1]
   2. [Step 2]
   3. [Step 3]
   ```

### Step 4: Update Supporting Docs

1. Update `PRODUCT_FEATURES_INVENTORY.md` workflow count
2. Update "Last Updated" date: `date +%Y-%m-%d`
3. Update `FEATURE_DOCUMENTATION_INDEX.md` if needed

### Step 5: Validate

1. Run linter check
2. Verify formatting
3. Check links
4. Review content accuracy

## Re-running Analysis

### When to Re-run

- New helpdesk articles published
- Quarterly maintenance
- Before major documentation updates

### How to Re-run

```bash
# Main analysis
python3 scripts/documentation/comprehensive-helpdesk-analysis.py

# Category analysis
python3 scripts/documentation/category-by-category-analysis.py

# Generate reports
python3 scripts/documentation/generate-comprehensive-report.py

# Validate completeness
python3 scripts/documentation/validate-feature-completeness.py
```

## Maintenance Schedule

### Monthly

- Review helpdesk for new articles
- Check if new workflows need integration
- Update documentation as needed

### Quarterly

- Re-run analysis scripts
- Review documentation for accuracy
- Update dates if stale
- Check for broken links

### Annual

- Comprehensive review
- Update all dates
- Review best practices
- Archive outdated information

## Common Tasks

### Update Workflow Count

1. Count workflows in feature doc: `grep -c "#### Workflow:" [file].md`
2. Update `PRODUCT_FEATURES_INVENTORY.md`
3. Update "Last Updated" date

### Add New Helpdesk Article

1. Parse article (if needed)
2. Map to feature in `HELPDESK_TO_FEATURE_MAPPING.md`
3. Extract workflow
4. Add to feature documentation
5. Update supporting docs

### Validate Documentation

```bash
# Run validation script
python3 scripts/documentation/validate-feature-docs.py

# Check for linter errors
# Review validation report
```
