Page purpose and layout

There are seven types of page to choose from, each with a specific purpose and layout

Purpose	Description	Example layout
Overviews	High level overview of concepts or functionality. Contain NO process or procedural steps. Ideally you will have a "parent" overview for the really high-level information, and multiple "child" overviews to drill down into more detailed content. And from there you can link to subpages listed below.	Parent overview -- index.md Child overview -- /docs/cloud/cloud-databases/cloud-db-manage.md
Process	A list of tasks that provide general information without delving into functionality	/help-on-help/publishing-workflow/deployment-process.md
Procedure	Specific list of functional steps to perform to complete a single task in a specific area of the application.	/docs/cloud/cloud-tables/cloud-table-create.md
Procedure series	A set of procedures that guide the user through an end-to-end use case. Constructed so individual procedures can be reused for other purposes	Community setup on Windows is a good example Part one -- /docs/community/com-install-windows.md Part two -- /docs/community/com-install-linux.md (which can also be performed in isolation)
FAQ	Frequently asked questions kept to a minimal answer and/or link to another file which contains the correct answers. These must be confined to a single area of functionality. Endless scroll FAQs make content hard for users to follow.	/docs/cloud/cloud-faq/glossary.md
Issue	known issues which contain a description of the issue, the probable cause and workarounds or solutions.	Docs in /docs/cloud/cloud-faq
Reference	Specifically structured reference content	Docs found under /docs/sql-guide
