Help-center importer before portal rewrite

Move your existing markdown or CSV help center into the new portal first, then improve the archive in place instead of rewriting every article before launch.

Why this can grow a startup

Docs migrations stall when a team treats the launch like a full editorial reset. Importing the working archive first preserves search coverage, support continuity, and the links your product already depends on. Once the material is live, you can clean the highest-value pages with real usage data instead of a speculative rewrite plan.

Company example

Productlane's quickstart includes a help-center importer for markdown or CSV so teams can move an existing archive into the portal quickly.
