### Contribute to the product documentation

#### Overview

The [dbt Product Documentation](/docs/introduction) sits at the heart of how people learn to use and engage with dbt. From explaining dbt to newcomers to providing references for advanced functionality and APIs, the product docs are a frequent resource for _every_ dbt Developer.

#### Contribution opportunities

We strive to create pathways that inspire you to learn more about dbt and enable you to continuously improve the way you solve data problems. We always appreciate the vigilance of the Community helping us to accurately represent the functionality and capabilities of dbt. You can participate by:

- [Opening an issue](https://github.com/dbt-labs/docs.getdbt.com/issues/new/choose) when you see something that can be fixed, whether it’s large or small.
- Creating a PR when you see something you want to fix, or to address an existing issue. You can do this by clicking **Edit this page** at the bottom of any page on [docs.getdbt.com](http://docs.getdbt.com).
