Description

It isn't clear what files actually "do the editing" for the Helm docs.

Probably should add to the readme that to edit the docs for Workbench, Connect, PPM, and Chronicle Overview pages, it requires a combo update of the following:

  • /helm/charts/_templates.gotmpl
  • charts/posit-chronicle/README.md.gotmpl
  • charts/rstudio-connect/README.md.gotmpl
  • charts/rstudio-pm/README.md.gotmpl
  • charts/rstudio-workbench/README.md.gotmpl

And to preview changes:

quarto preview --render html

In addition, we should also add how to edit the Examples doc for each product as well.

### Tasks
- [ ] It also wasn't clear that I needed to install `helm-docs` and run `just setup`

  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start by locating the /docs README and reviewing the listed Helm documentation templates, including /helm/charts/_templates.gotmpl and the product README.md.gotmpl files. Check the existing setup guidance for helm-docs, just setup, and quarto preview --render html, then document how to update the product and Examples pages. Done means a newcomer can identify the files, prerequisites, preview command, and contribution workflow.
