Documentation refers to the collection, organization, and presentation of information that explains, supports, or proves something. It can include written texts, diagrams, images, or digital files that describe how a system, product, or process works, or that record events and decisions. In technical fields, documentation helps users understand how to install, configure, use, or maintain software and hardware. In legal or administrative contexts, documentation serves as formal evidence or proof. Good documentation is clear, structured, and up to date, making it easier for others to learn, verify, or reuse the documented knowledge.
