The Document wizard is a component of the Direct Capture of Objectives facility that supports the generation of Microsoft Word documents describing the as-built application, including use cases, requirements, and actors.

You can choose which flows of the application to include or exclude. Optionally, you can include live links within the application document that open the corresponding rules.

Because this documentation can be generated directly from the rules at any time, it can be up-to-date and "in sync" with the actual implementation.

To start the Document wizard:

• In the Designer Studio, select New Application > Application Accelerator from the Application menu in the header bar.
• In the Business Analyst portal, select > Application Actions > Document Application.

For details about using the Document wizard, see the Pega Developer Network article PRKB-26131 Using the Application Document Wizard and PRKB-26146 Extending Document Wizard templates.

Don't confuse the Document wizard with the older Application Document tool available to those V5.3/V5.4 developers who did not have the Pega-AppDefinition RuleSet. This older tool is deprecated.
