Structure

The structure of a page within the support tile will depend on the purpose that content serves.

Boundaries

The general guidance is that anything related to a specific product (DNS, Security Center) or platform (Cloudflare One) belongs in a product tile. Anything that is specific to interacting with Cloudflare support or details niche troubleshooting steps belongs in the support tile.

Support content should not duplicate content that already exists in a product tile.
