 * Hey there,
 * Love buddypress docs so far. My question is, are there shortcodes?
 * I’d like to insert the docs directory (archive) onto a page. How can I do so?
 * Currently the docs page is set to a specific page, but I can’t customize or edit
   that page.
 * Shortcode would be preferred, thank you guys!

 * Hi @ubastisupport-
 * Sorry, there is no shortcode to render the main docs directory. You can edit 
   the archive page, though some themes don’t make it easy to work out the logic.
   Generally, you’d duplicate the `archive.php` file in your theme and name the 
   new file `archive-bp_docs.php` so that it’s applied to the `bp_docs` post type.
 * There are widgets available if you want to insert a docs short library in a sidebar
   or similar.
