Service Studio

Add something similar to "Export Action To Image" but with the actions objects numbered and a section below listing the parameters for each one.

Also, a way to generate these in bulk, with it generating a zip file with them all inside, named appropriately, or as a PDF file.

Hi Nathan,

What is the purpose of that? Documentation?

Would it not be better to use the upcoming Mentor in Studio to generate this documentation, you will have way more flexibility to control the format and content of your documentation.

Daniel

How "upcoming" is "upcoming"?

:-)

This would be extremely useful for technical documentation, audits, and knowledge transfer, especially in large applications.

Some enhancements that could make it even more powerful:

Include parameters & data flow mapping

Each action should list input/output parameters and dependencies (entities, APIs, variables).

Bulk export with structure

Export as:

ZIP (one image per action + metadata JSON/XML)

PDF (combined with index and sections)

Numbered nodes + legend

Number elements in the action flow and provide a legend explaining each step below the image.

Dependency-aware export

Option to export related actions (called actions, server actions, APIs) automatically.

Searchable documentation

Along with images, include a text-based version for indexing and search.

Use cases beyond documentation

Code reviews

Compliance/audit reports

Onboarding new developers

Even if tools like Mentor generate documentation, having a visual + structured export directly from Service Studio would be faster and more reliable for real-world teams.

Hi Aravind,

Yes that's basically what I was looking for!

PDF instead of an image would be best, as then it becomes text-searchable.

Would be even better if we could stuff the lot in to an AI.

Kind Regards

Nathan
