# Documentation settings

If you have your own site documentation then you can set this as the default by going to *Quick-access menu > Appearance > Documentation*. You can also configure the behaviour of documentation links.

| **Setting** | **Description** | **Notes** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Docs document root | Change the default path to your own custom online documentation. If the **Docs document root field** is left blank, the **Docs for this page** links will not appear. | - |
| Language for docs | This language will be used for links to the documentation pages. | - |
| Open in new window | You may find that trainers prefer the documentation to open in a new window, so they can easily return to their page in Totara. If so, enable this setting. | - |
