# Documentation

The Documentation section contains the user guides for the GuardWare products. It provides detailed information about the features, configuration options, and day-to-day tasks available to administrators and users.

The documentation is organised around the different areas of the GuardWare platform, including the **Management Console, Partner Portal, DISCOVER, INSIGHT, and PROTECT**.

## How the Documentation is organised

### GuardWare Product Documentation

The product guides provide detailed information about using the individual GuardWare products. Start with the product that matches your immediate data-security goal.

**DISCOVER** identifies sensitive data and where it resides. **INSIGHT** reveals how that data is used and where risk exists. **PROTECT** applies controls to safeguard sensitive data. Together, these products support a continuous data-security lifecycle.

### Partner Portal

If you are a partner, use the **Partner Portal** to manage customer organisations and deployments.

The **Partner Portal** is intended for GuardWare partners who manage multiple customer organisations. It provides partner-level functionality for managing customer environments and related administrative tasks.

The Partner Portal documentation explains how partners can manage their customer organisations and perform tasks available at the partner level.

## Management Console

The **Management Console** is GuardWare’s central administration layer. It provides access to organisation-level settings and administration features for configuring and managing the GuardWare environment.

The Management Console documentation covers tasks such as configuring organisation settings, managing users and access, configuring integrations and system settings, and managing the components used by GuardWare products.

If you are administering a specific GuardWare organisation, the **Management Console** guides provide the information you need to configure and manage that environment. Use them to configure your organisation, data-governance model, security groups, and integrations.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.guardware.com/documentation/documentation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
