How to add to Gitbook?

• Apr 28, 2025 - 19:51

I want to add a sentence documenting the location of the MacOS version of a file to the VST page in the new handbook on Gitbook. I've read https://handbook.musescore.org/about-the-handbook/using-gitbook#change-… but I don't see the Edit button as described at https://docs.gitbook.com/collaboration/change-requests. I also don't see a gitbook repo at MS's github. I'm logged in to gitbook and I understand that while the site is published, edits are disabled and so a CR needs to be made. But how? Am I missing something obvious?

I'm not downloading an old handbook page and gitbookify-ing it and.. well then what? Still no where to send it.

It's likely a permissions/config issue. On my own Gitbook page, I see the plus and options buttons and can edit and click the Merge/Create PR button in the top right. In the new MS handbook, there isn't any indication that I'm logged in to Gitbook and I can't imagine it'd be open for anonymous edits. Perhaps hosting at the musescore.org domain has something to do with how it's setup and why it's not seeing Gitbook/Github user accounts?

I understand the bit about published sites and having to submit a CR, but https://docs.gitbook.com/collaboration/change-requests#creating-a-chang… says click the Edit button in the space header (https://docs.gitbook.com/resources/gitbook-ui#space-header) but there isn't that header in the new MS gitbook. Time will tell when the dust settles from the move I guess.

I'm not downloading

not -> now ?

Whatever: considering that the Mu4 handbook migration to GitBook started sometime November last year, it is IMHO pretty bizarre (read: really unacceptable!) that it still doesn't seem finiehed, that it still isn't possible to participate in changing, improving and translating it, half a year later!
