# How to contribute to PowerShell documentation

The contributor guide is a collection of articles that explain the tools and processes we use to create documentation at Microsoft. Some of these guides cover information that is common to any documentation set published to Microsoft technical documentation. Some of the guides are specific to how we write documentation for PowerShell.
The PowerShell documentation uses the same basic style rules and processes as other Microsoft
technical documentation. The _PowerShell-Docs Contributor Guide_ includes specific guidelines and
processes that are unique to PowerShell content.

The common articles are available in this centralized contributor guide. The
[PowerShell contributor guide](/powershell/scripting/community/contributing/overview) is available in the community section of the PowerShell documentation.
For more information, see the [PowerShell contributor guide][01] is available in the public
PowerShell documentation. Pay special attention to the following sections:

- [Markdown best practices][03]
- [PowerShell-Docs style guide][04]
- [Editorial checklist][02]
