# File conventions

Our docs have a few conventions around files.

## Naming

When creating new files, follow specific conventions for your naming.

Filenames should:

* Semantically communicate the purpose of the file
* Be lowercased
* Use dashes between words

Acceptable file names

```
/src/content/docs/fundamentals/concepts/what-is-cloudflare.mdx/src/assets/images/api-shield/api-shield-call-sequence.png
```

Unacceptable file names

```
/src/content/docs/fundamentals/concepts/What is Cloudflare.mdx/src/content/docs/fundamentals/concepts/What-is-Cloudflare.mdx/src/assets/images/api-shield/API_Image_1.png
```

These conventions are important for user readability, SEO conventions, and making sure our GitHub actions do not break.

## Folders

Each folder should have a file named `index.mdx`.

```
/src/content/docs/fundamentals/concepts/index.mdx
```

The content at `/src/content/docs/fundamentals/concepts/index.mdx` will be rendered at `https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/concepts/`.

## Content files

Add regular content files to the `/src/content/docs/{product_folder}/` directory.

```
/src/content/docs/fundamentals/concepts/what-is-cloudflare.mdx
```

## Image files

Add image files to the `/src/assets/images/{product_folder}/` directory.

```
/src/assets/images/api-shield/api-shield-call-sequence.png
```
