FAQPage Schema
How do I keep my project documentation synchronized with a central handbook?

Sync your project documentation by copying the latest central handbook from ~/.claude/AmplifyHandbook/ to your project's resources/handbook/ folder. This one-command sync ensures your local docs stay current with best practices, patterns, and code examples, eliminating stale information across your team.

What's the best way to automate documentation updates across multiple projects?

Automation of documentation updates copies your central handbook to each project's resources folder in a single operation. This prevents inconsistencies, reduces manual synchronization work, and guarantees all projects reflect the latest Amplify Gen 2 patterns and guidelines without manual intervention.

Can I sync Markdown documentation and code examples to my project at once?

Yes, the sync workflow copies all Markdown docs, code examples, and folder structures (auth/, data/, functions/, webhooks/, frontend/, troubleshooting/) from the central handbook to your project in one step, ensuring complete documentation parity and up-to-date implementation guides.

When should I update my local handbook during project development?

Update your local handbook during onboarding, sprint updates, or whenever central documentation is published. Regular syncs prevent your project from diverging from current best practices and ensure developers always reference the latest Amplify Gen 2 guidance and patterns.

What happens if my project doesn't have a handbook folder yet?

The sync process automatically creates the resources/handbook/ destination directory if it doesn't exist, then populates it with the complete central handbook. This removes setup friction and ensures new or existing projects can adopt centralized documentation immediately.
