How the manual works

Written from the app, kept in step with it.

Written from each screen

Each page starts from a screen of the web app: its route, its title, its fields and their labels in English, French and German.

Screenshots from every release

Each screen is captured on demo data, in each language, so what you read matches what you see.

Flagged when a screen changes

When a release changes a screen, its page is marked for review, and the text follows before the next update of the site.

API reference

Build on the Sway API.

A REST API for AI agents and your own tools: workspaces, bank accounts, invoices, payments and the ledger, with keys scoped to what each integration needs.
