Documentation

The Help panel displays the table of contents of LibreAutomate documentation, which consists of 4 parts:

Cookbook - a collection of how-to articles with code examples for common automations.
Library API - automation library API reference.
Articles - other articles of the library.
Editor - LibreAutomate editor app.

Documentation articles can be displayed in the Read panel (default) or in your web browser. The setting is in Options > Other.

To hide the Read panel: middle-click the header (blue bar with text "Read"). Or double-click to undock. Right-click to change window style.

The search field can be used in two ways:

Type a word or two. It instantly finds articles with the words in the name.
Type a search phrase or question, and click the AI search button or press Enter. It finds all relevant articles. You can copy the results, and paste in an AI chat (ChatGPT, Gemini, etc) to get accurate answer.

The AI search feature uses AI models selected in Options > AI. These models require an API key from an account you create on that AI company's website, and they cost only a few cents per month depending on usage.

You can also find classes/functions in the code editor. Type a name or press Ctrl+Space and select from the list. Then type . (dot) to find a member.
