Help in the app

Find the right documentation page from inside kanman and get in touch with support.

kanman links you to the right documentation page from where you are, so you do not have to search for it.

Help in your avatar menu

Click your avatar at the top right:

  • Keyboard shortcuts opens the list of shortcuts (also ?)
  • Help and docs opens this documentation in a new tab, in your interface language

The same two entries are commands in the message box: type /help or /short.

Help icons on pages

Every settings page, in your settings, the workspace settings and a team’s settings, starts with a one-line description that ends in a small help icon. It links to the page of this documentation that explains the settings in front of you. For example:

Where Links to
Workspace settings, Members Workspace, members and roles
Workspace settings, Plan and usage Plans and billing
Workspace settings, Runs and runners Run the self-hosted runner
Team settings, Checks and delivery Policy settings
Team settings, Limits and budgets Budgets and cost
Team settings, Services and on-call Put kanman on call
Your settings, API tokens Profile and sign-in, API tokens

Hover over an icon to see which page it opens, click it to open the page in a new tab. Screen readers announce it as a help link that opens a new tab. Links open in your interface language (English or German).

Messages that explain themselves

When kanman stops a run or a gate fails, the message says what happened and what you can do, for example “Spec mocks its own target: route interception of /api/invoices” or “Path infra/alarms.tf is not allowed by policy Balanced”.

Asking kanman

For questions about your own work, ask kanman directly in a team’s intake, for example “what is blocking SBX-12?”. kanman recognises this as a status question and answers in the conversation. Status answers are never written to your repository or tracker.

Contacting support

Write to [email protected]. Include your workspace name and, if it is about a run, the run key (for example run-7f3k). We can find the run, its evidence and its audit entries from that.

Service status is shown at status.kanman.ai.
