# Open Documentation

### Description

The Open Documentation action is designed to provide quick access to the Terraform registry documentation for a specific provider and resource type. By using the context of the current state, this action constructs the appropriate URL and presents it as a clickable button.

### Display Criteria

By default this Action is enabled and will appear for all the resources. If you want to display this action only for certain resources, please check [display criteria](#display-criteria).

### Usage

* Navigate to the `Workspace Overview` or the `Visual State` and click a resource name.
