# Documentation guide

The custom apps documentation is divided into topic groups. The topic groups are structured the same way as you would navigate inside the Apps builder in Make.

## App components

The [APP COMPONENTS section](https://github.com/integromat/make-apps-sdk-docs/blob/master/get-started/broken-reference/README.md) describes how to define and configure the basic elements of a custom app. The basic custom app components are listed in the top menu in the custom app configuration, for example: [Base](/custom-apps-documentation/app-components/base.md), [Connections](/custom-apps-documentation/app-components/connections.md), and [Modules](/custom-apps-documentation/app-components/modules.md).

## Component blocks

Every structure element is divided into blocks. Some of these blocks appear in multiple places and share the same purpose, while others do not.

For example, parameters (static or mappable) are available everywhere apart from Base and Functions. Meanwhile, common data exists only inside Base and Connection.

Information detailing these blocks can be found in the [COMPONENT BLOCKS section](https://github.com/integromat/make-apps-sdk-docs/blob/master/get-started/broken-reference/README.md).

## Block elements

[Block elements](https://github.com/integromat/make-apps-sdk-docs/blob/master/get-started/broken-reference/README.md) are like bricks for component blocks. A block doesn't exist without these elements. Multiple elements form a block.

Pick a brick that suits your needs. You can use multiple, separated components or combine them together using the nested property.
