Hi Community,I would like to understand whether Mendix provides any capability to generate/export documentation that contains business context for existing functionality.The reason I'm asking is that my manager mentioned that in one of his previous projects on another low-code platform (not Mendix), they had a feature where developers could export documentation for a module or functionality. The exported document not only showed technical details but also included information such as:Why the functionality was implementedWhat business problem it solvesWho the intended users or recipients areWhat process or event triggers itAny important business context behind the implementationFor example, if a new developer joins a project and there is limited KT or business documentation available, they may see an email notification being sent but not understand:Why the email existsWhether it is intended for Managers, Finance, Leadership, Project Owners, etc.What business action is expected from the recipientThe original requirement behind the emailIn Mendix, is there any built-in feature, Marketplace module, AI-based tool, or third-party solution that can generate this type of documentation from an existing application?Or is this kind of business knowledge typically maintained manually outside Mendix in requirement documents, user stories, or functional specifications?I would like to know how other teams handle this situation, especially for long-running applications where documentation and KT are limited.Thanks in advance for your insights.
