# ✍️ How to Contribute to This Documentation
> [!abstract] About
> This vault is **participative**. If you have notes, tutorials, fixes, screenshots or drafts that would fit in **KNOWLEDGE** or **PROTOCOL**, you can send them through any of the channels below — I'll review and integrate them into the public documentation.
---
## 🧭 TL;DR
> [!tip] Two ways to contribute today
> 1. **📁 Drop a file in the shared Google Drive** — simplest, best for artists.
> 2. **💬 Send it on Discord** — fastest for short notes, screenshots or questions.
>
> A **GitHub pull-request workflow** will come later.
---
## 1. 📁 Google Drive — "Submissions" folder
> [!example] Link
> **[Open the shared submissions folder on Google Drive](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1zn5QdNiD6t7quEw9u8sI6uhhECLfqnfa?usp=drive_link)**
### How to submit
1. Open the Drive folder via the link above.
2. Create a new folder named after your Name — e.g Thomas Spony
3. Inside that folder, put:
- The **note itself** as a `.md` file, a Google Doc, or a plain `.txt` — whatever is easiest for you.
- All **attachments** (screenshots, reference images, small videos, PDFs…).
4. If relevant, add a short `README.txt` explaining:
- **Who** you are (so you can be credited).
- **Any context** the reader needs.

## 2. 💬 Discord — `#PROTOCOL channel
> [!example] Link
> Join Our discord with this link, if you want to make project together : https://discord.gg/bDYbfZfdhA
> **[Open the Discord documentation channel](https://discord.com/channels/1204552429866324079/1220178487940481145)**
### How to submit
- Drop your note, screenshot, reference, link or question directly in the channel.
- Mention me (`@alte`) if you'd like it reviewed quickly.
- If you have a longer draft, paste it as a message, upload a `.md` / `.txt` file, or paste a Drive / Doc link.
### What happens next
- Same as the Drive workflow — I review, reformat, integrate, and credit you.
> [!info] Best for
> Short notes, quick tips, one-off corrections, a single screenshot, or asking a question before writing a full note.

## 3. 🐙 GitHub Pull Requests *(coming soon)*
Once the vault is published on GitHub, contributors will be able to:
- Fork the repository.
- Add or edit a `.md` note and its attachments.
- Open a **pull request** for review line-by-line.
This path is **not live yet** — use Google Drive or Discord in the meantime.
---
> [!warning] Please avoid
> - **NDA / studio-confidential material** — don't send anything from a studio pipeline you are under NDA with.
> - **Screenshots exposing personal info** (paths with your username, tokens, credentials…).
> - **Copying copyrighted material** (full course content, books, paid tutorials) — link to the source instead.
