# Auto Generate Documentation

Bruno allows you to automatically generate a standalone HTML documentation file from your collection. This creates a shareable, interactive API documentation page that you can deploy anywhere or share with your team.

## Generate Documentation

1. Navigate to the Collection Settings and click on the **Generate Docs** under Documentation section
