# Generate S-Docs on Record Pages

## Lightning Web Components

Lightning Web Components, or **LWCs**, are Salesforce components you add to Lightning pages.

S-Docs uses LWCs to bring document actions directly onto a record page.

That lets users generate, view, email, refresh, and edit documents without leaving the record.

This section focuses on the two main S-Docs record page components:

* **Generate Documents (S-Docs)**
* **Documents (S-Docs)**

{% hint style="info" %}
Generated documents are saved as **Salesforce Files** and linked to the record.
{% endhint %}

### Start with the path that fits your goal

If you are starting from scratch, begin with the Quick Start tutorial.

If your record page is already set up, jump to the task guide you need.

If you need exact component properties, use the LWC reference in the Developer's Hub.

### What you can do with S-Docs LWCs

Use S-Docs LWCs when you want to:

* generate documents from a Lightning record page
* view generated files on the same record
* send generated files by email
* refresh a file with current Salesforce data
* track versions or open supported files in Live Edit

### LWC how-to guides

Use these guides when you already know the task you need to complete:

* [How To: Sending Generated Documents via Email](/sdocs/automation-and-document-lifecycle/workflows/sending-generated-documents-via-email-s-docs-lwc.md)
* [How To: Refresh Document Data Within the Documents](/sdocs/automation-and-document-lifecycle/workflows/refresh-document-data-within-the-documents-s-docs-lwc.md)
* [How To: Editing Generated Documents](/sdocs/automation-and-document-lifecycle/workflows/editing-generated-documents-live-edit.md)

* [Lightning Web Security and Content Delivery Network](/sdocs/automation-and-document-lifecycle/workflows/lightning-web-security-and-content-delivery-network.md)

### Related note

The **S-Docs Usage Metrics** component is added to a Lightning Home page, not a record page.

Use [How To: Configure the S-Docs Usage Metrics LWC on Home Page](/sdocs/administration/landing-page-for-admin/install-configure/configure-the-s-docs-usage-metrics-lwc-on-home-page.md) when you need usage reporting.
