********************************** Documentation for QGIS |version| ********************************** .. only:: testing .. attention:: You are reading the testing version of QGIS documentation, an ongoing work which targets the latest changes in the software and may document features not available or compatible with QGIS |CURRENT| Long Term Release. .. only:: not testing .. hint:: Looking for documentation of versions newer than the |version| Long Term Release? Have a look at the `testing docs `_. .. note:: QGIS documentation is available in various languages and versions. Expand the :guilabel:`QGIS Documentation` menu at the bottom of the sidebar to see the list. .. only:: i18n .. note:: This documentation is translated from the original English version by community members on `Transifex `_. Depending on the translation effort's :ref:`completion level `, you may find paragraphs or whole pages which are still in English. You can help the community by providing new translations or reviewing existing ones on Transifex. For the time being, localized translations are only available for the Long Term releases branch, but should be suitable to learn how to use QGIS nevertheless. Welcome to the official documentation of `QGIS `_, the free and open source community-driven GIS software! If you are new to this documentation, the table of contents below and in the sidebar should let you easily access the documentation for your topic of interest. You can also use the search function in the top left corner. .. todo: Actually, it could be nice to refactor the first chapters of the docs (preamble, foreword, features, conventions) to minimize repetition and have an introductory chapter for the whole documentation, not within User manual. Also we can consider adding an overview of how the docs is structured and what people should expect to find in each document (inspired by https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/about/introduction.html#doc-about-intro). Besides the online documentation, the QGIS project also provides materials that you can download for offline reading. They are accessible from the :guilabel:`QGIS Documentation` menu at the bottom of the sidebar, as: * HTML zipped files that you can extract and :ref:`use as paths ` from within the software * PDF files .. note:: QGIS is an open source project developed by a community of contributors. The documentation team can always use your feedback and help to improve the tutorials and features description. If you don't understand something, or cannot find what you are looking for in the docs, help us make the documentation better by letting us know: * Submit an issue or pull request on the `GitHub repository `_, * Help us `translate the documentation `_ into your language * Or talk to us on either the `qgis-community-team `_ mailing-list, the `#qgis `_ channel on IRC or the `#qgis:matrix.org `_ room!
