What's included¶
We've created Zensical Spark for professional teams that consider documentation mission-critical, from early-stage startups to large organizations.
Zensical Spark gives your organization early access to new functionality, hands-on migration support, direct access to the Zensical team, and the opportunity to help shape the future of Zensical through ongoing feedback and participation in our design process.
The following benefits are included with Zensical Spark.
Early access to new features¶
Zensical Spark members get early access to new features before they become generally available. While we immediately release all functionality for reaching feature parity with Material for MkDocs, new functionality that wasn't part of Material for MkDocs is released in Zensical Spark first.
Highlights
- Use new features before they're generally available
- Provide early feedback on new features as we design them
- Influence the direction of Zensical with your feedback
Hands-on migration support¶
For organizations moving from Material for MkDocs or other systems to Zensical, we offer hands-on support to make the migration seamless. By identifying the functionality and plugins you need most, we plan and prioritize their development to ensure you can switch to Zensical without missing essential features.
Highlights
- Hands-on support for migration of complex projects
- Transitional support for Material for MkDocs and MkDocs 1.x
- Prioritization of most needed functionality
Access to the Zensical team¶
With Zensical Spark, you gain direct access to the Zensical team for guidance, professional support, and in-depth conversations. While bug reports and low-level feature requests flow through GitHub, Zensical Spark provides direct support for your organization.
Highlights
- Direct access to the Zensical team
- High-touch professional support
- Dedicated point of contact
Share your requirements with us¶
With Zensical Spark, you can explore your organization's key challenges in technical writing – like migrations, content restructuring, or adopting new standards – directly with the Zensical team.
GitHub lacks the context and space for these complex, high-level topics. Zensical Spark provides a dedicated environment where discussions are focused, and the team can help translate them into actionable proposals that benefit both your organization and all other users.
Highlights
- Your requiments directly inform our work
- Assistance for large-scale and complex projects
- Discussions focused on your challenges
Shape our roadmap with us¶
As a Zensical Spark member, you don't just follow our roadmap – you help to shape it. We prioritize our work based on the needs of professional users like you, from big-picture discussions to feature requests. Through ongoing conversations and continuous feedback, you ensure the tools and workflows you rely on are built to meet your requirements, rather than leaving it to chance.
Highlights
- Direct influence on our roadmap
- Impact on proposals and decisions
- Continuity and alignment for the future
Take part in our design process¶
Zensical is Open Source. Our design process ensures that we're building features that truly matter to our users. As a Zensical Spark member, you can actively participate in this process by providing feedback on designs, prototypes, and proposals before they are finalized. This involvement allows you to shape the direction of Zensical and ensure it meets your organization's requirements.
Excerpts of Zensical Advancement Proposals (ZAPs) are published publicly, but full proposals and the ability to contribute feedback and co-design are exclusive to Zensical Spark members.
Highlights
- Alignment of our efforts and your needs
- Priority consideration of your feedback
- Early insights into upcoming features
Troubleshooting support¶
When you run into problems while using Zensical, the Zensical team helps you troubleshoot and resolve them efficiently. In Zensical Spark, we help you to promptly identify the root cause of problems – whether they stem from configuration, customization, or issues within Zensical itself – delivering support far beyond what our GitHub issue tracker can provide.
Highlights
- Assistance with troubleshooting
- Fast and efficient problem resolution
- Tailored organizational support
Bug reporting assistance¶
Thanks to our structured bug reporting process, most issues can be resolved within 24–48 hours. This process relies on detailed information to diagnose and fix problems effectively. As a Zensical Spark member, we assist you in creating minimal reproductions, accelerating the path from bug discovery to resolution, reducing delays and keeping your workflows running smoothly.
Highlights
- Support for diagnosing and narrowing down issues
- Assistance with creating minimal reproductions
- Faster path from bug discovery to resolution
Workshops¶
We'll host regular interactive workshops covering advanced configuration, customization, module development, and professional use of Zensical. While primarily designed for Zensical Spark members, these sessions are also open to external participants. This helps your team build expertise and maximize the value of Zensical and our other Open Source projects.
Zensical Spark members receive a 50% discount on workshop fees.
Highlights
- Learn how to get the most out of Zensical
- Onboard new team members efficiently
- Q&A with the Zensical team
