+The diagram below illustrates the workflow of the MrDocs documentation tool.
+It shows how inputs are transformed step by step into the final documentation output.
+Each component in the diagram represents a distinct type of entity:
+
+- **Inputs**: Provide the initial parameters and settings required to configure and run the tool.
+These include the <<config-file,configuration file>> and <<cli,command-line arguments>>.
+- **Processes**: Represent intermediary outputs or data generated during the workflow.
+- **Outputs**: The final product, in this case, the generated documentation.
+
+include::partial$workflow.adoc[]
+
+In summary:
+
+* Begin by specifying the <<config-file,configuration file>> and <<cli,command-line arguments>> to set up the options. The configuration options affect all processes.
+* The configuration options define a <<compilation-database, Compilation Database>>. All symbols are extracted with Clang to generate a unified corpus of symbols with their corresponding xref:page$commands.adoc[documentation].
+* Finally, This corpus is then fed to a xref:page$generators.adoc[Generator] that produces the desired documentation.
+
+For more details on each component, refer to the corresponding sections of this guide.

 === Compilation databases
 
 One way to simplify the documentation generation process is by using a `compile_commands.json` file generated by CMake to determine the source files to process and their compile options.
