Here are some tips to help you get the most out of the CachyOS wiki, including features that are easy to miss.

- **Contribute Feedback:**  If you have a suggestion or find an error in the documentation, you can help us improve!
  - At the bottom of each page, you'll find an `Edit page` button that takes you directly to the corresponding file on GitHub where you can propose changes.
  - Alternatively, you can open a new issue on our [GitHub repository.](https://github.com/CachyOS/wiki)
- **Search is Your First Tool:** Use the search bar at the top of the page (to the right of the CachyOS logo) to quickly find information related to your question or issue.
- **Navigate with the Sidebars:**
  - The left sidebar is scrollable and contains the main table of contents for the entire documentation. Use it to explore different sections.

  - Don't forget the right sidebar. It often contains a helpful overview of the current page's sections, allowing for quick navigation.
- **Look for Interactive Elements:**
  - **Tabs:** Some pages use tabs to organize related content. Be sure to check all available tabs for the information you need.
    - Example: <ImageComponent imgsrc={import('~/assets/images/tab-example.png')} />
  - **Expandable Sections:** Content that is collapsed under a clickable header (like **"Manual Installation (Advanced)"**) can be expanded to reveal more detailed information.
    - Example: <ImageComponent imgsrc={import('~/assets/images/summary-element-example.png')} />
- **Useful Features:**
  - Code Blocks: All code blocks have a `Copy to clipboard` button on the top-right for easy copying.
    - Example: <ImageComponent imgsrc={import('~/assets/images/code-block-example.png')} />
    :::note[Sometimes code blocks are used to show example output that doesn't need to be copied.]
  - Hyperlinks: Keep an eye out for underlined and/or colored text. These are links to other parts of the wiki or external resources for further reading.
- Pay close attention to notes, tips, warnings, and cautions. They contain important information that can help you avoid common pitfalls and solve problems faster.
  - Example: <ImageComponent imgsrc={import('~/assets/images/note-example.png')} />
