This page explains how to open and review source-derived technical context in Atloria. Controlling who can view this context helps you share useful implementation details while keeping access aligned with your organization’s access-control practices.
Overview
Atloria provides technical documentation views that can include source-derived symbols, relationships, and implementation context. You can use these views when you need to understand how product elements relate to technical components, validate generated technical content, or review the source material behind a documentation entry.
The main entry point is Technical Docs. From there, you can switch to the Technical view and use View Source when it is available for the selected content. The source view is intended for reviewing technical context; it is not a replacement for your organization’s source repository permissions or security policies.
Access should be governed carefully because technical context may expose details such as entity relationships, component references, lifecycle information, and other implementation-oriented symbols. For example, a technical documentation area may include entries related to 👥 Access Control, Application Security & Access Control, or 👤 Role-Based Access Control (RBAC).

Prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure that:
- You can open the relevant project in Atloria.
- You have access to the project’s Technical Docs area.
- You know which technical documentation entry or symbol you need to review.
- Your organization has defined which users or roles may review source-derived technical context.
- You have permission to use Manage in Settings if you need to review or update access-related settings.
- You understand that View Source may reveal implementation context that should be handled according to your organization’s security standards.
Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Open the project that contains the technical documentation you want to review.
-
Select Technical Docs to open the project’s technical documentation area.
-
Select Technical to focus on technical rather than product-oriented documentation.
-
Locate the documentation entry that contains the source-derived context you need to govern or review.
-
Select the entry to display its available technical details.
-
Review the entry title and visible context before opening source information.
-
Click View Source to display the source-derived context for the selected documentation.
-
Review the symbols, relationships, and technical references shown in the source view.
-
Use the displayed source context to confirm whether the selected entry contains information appropriate for the intended audience.
-
Return to the documentation entry when you have completed your review.
-
Select Manage in Settings if your organization provides access management through Settings.
-
Review the available access controls in Settings before changing any permissions.
-
Apply your organization’s approved role or group assignments for users who need to review technical context.
-
Remove or avoid granting access for users who only need product-facing documentation.
-
Save or confirm your access changes if the Settings screen presents a save or confirmation action.
-
Return to Technical Docs and verify that the appropriate users can access the required documentation view.

Tips and Best Practices
-
Give access based on job responsibilities. Users who maintain technical documentation, architecture, integrations, or security controls may need source context; users who only consume end-user documentation often do not.
-
Use the Product and Technical views intentionally. The Product view is better suited to product-facing material, while Technical is the appropriate area for implementation-oriented context.
-
Review source context before sharing it broadly. Technical entries can include relationships and lifecycle descriptions, such as references to rendering, hooks, contexts, stores, services, repositories, or models. Treat this information as technical material.
-
Use View Source to validate documentation grounding. When a technical document describes a symbol or relationship, compare it with the source-derived information before relying on it for design, security, or operational decisions.
-
Keep access reviews aligned with RBAC practices. If your organization uses role-based access control, review access to technical context when users change roles, join a project, leave a project, or change responsibilities.
-
Separate documentation responsibilities from source access responsibilities. Access to Technical Docs and View Source should be granted according to your internal policy; do not assume that every documentation contributor requires the same level of technical visibility.
-
Use Manage in Settings for centralized administration when it is available. Centralized settings reduce the risk of inconsistent permissions across projects or teams.

Troubleshooting
You cannot open Technical Docs
Confirm that you are in the correct project and that your account has access to the project’s documentation. If Technical Docs is unavailable, ask a project administrator to review your project membership and assigned role.
You do not see View Source
First, select Technical and open a specific technical documentation entry. If View Source still does not appear, the selected content may not have source-derived context available, or your access level may not permit source review. Contact an administrator to confirm your assigned access.
You can view documentation but cannot manage access
Use Manage in Settings only if it is available to your account. If you cannot open or update settings, your role may allow documentation review without administrative access. Ask an administrator who manages 👤 Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to make the required access changes.
