Hi Abrita, On Day 1 someone asked if there was a list of all guide pages. Using the idea from this MSE post. guideNotebooks = {$InstallationDirectory, "Documentation", $Language, "System", "Guides"} // FileNameJoin // FileNames["*.nb", #] &; guideNotebooks // Map[<\|"Guide Pages" -> Hyperlink[#, "paclet:guide/" ~~ #] &@FileBaseName[#]\|> &] // Sort // Dataset

Hi Abrita,

On Day 1 someone asked if there was a list of all guide pages. Using the idea from this MSE post.

guideNotebooks = {$InstallationDirectory, "Documentation", $Language, "System", "Guides"} //
  FileNameJoin // FileNames["*.nb", #] &;

guideNotebooks // 
   Map[<|"Guide Pages" -> Hyperlink[#, "paclet:guide/" ~~ #] &@FileBaseName[#]|> &] // 
     Sort // Dataset
