+# GraphQL API
+
+GraphQL APIs are different from [RESTful APIs](styleguide.md#restful-api). Reference
+information is generated in our [GraphQL reference](../../api/graphql/reference/index.md).
+
+However, it's helpful to include examples on how to use GraphQL for different
+*use cases*, with samples that readers can use directly in the
+[GraphiQL explorer](../api_graphql_styleguide.md#graphiql).
+
+This section describes the steps required to add your GraphQL examples to
+GitLab documentation.
+
+## Add a dedicated GraphQL page
+
+To create a dedicated GraphQL page, create a new `.md` file in the
+`doc/api/graphql/` directory. Give that file a functional name, such as
+`import_from_specific_location.md`.
+
+## Start the page with an explanation
+
+Include a page title that describes the GraphQL functionality in a few words,
+such as:
+
+```markdown
+# Search for [substitute kind of data]
+```
+
+Describe the search. One sentence may be all you need. More information may
+help readers learn how to use the example for their GitLab deployments.
+
+## Include a procedure using the GraphiQL explorer
+
+The GraphiQL explorer can help readers test queries with working deployments.
+Set up the section with the following:
+
+- Use the following title:
+
+  ```markdown
+  ## Set up the GraphiQL explorer
+  ```
+
+- Include a code block with the query that anyone can include in their
+  instance of the GraphiQL explorer:
+
+  ````markdown
+  ```graphql
+  query {
+    <insert queries here>
+  }
+  ```
+  ````
+
+- Tell the user what to do:
+
+  ```markdown
+  1. Open the GraphiQL explorer tool in the following URL: `https://gitlab.com/-/graphql-explorer`.
+  1. Paste the `query` listed above into the left window of your GraphiQL explorer tool.
+  1. Select **Play** to get the result shown here:
+  ```
+
+- Include a screenshot of the result in the GraphiQL explorer. Follow the naming
+  convention described in the [Save the image](styleguide.md#save-the-image) section of the Documentation style guide.
+- Follow up with an example of what you can do with the output. Make sure the
+  example is something that readers can do on their own deployments.
+- Include a link to the [GraphQL API resources](../../api/graphql/reference/index.md).
+
+## Add the GraphQL example to the global navigation
+
+You should include a link for your new document in the global navigation (the list on the
+left side of the documentation website). To do so, open a second MR, against the
+[GitLab documentation repository](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-docs/).
+
+We store our global navgation in the [`default-nav.yaml`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-docs/-/blob/master/content/_data/default-nav.yaml) file, in the
+`content/_data` subdirectory. You can find the GraphQL section under the
+following line:
+
+```yaml
+- category_title: GraphQL
+```
+
+Be aware that CI tests for that second MR will fail with a bad link until the
+main MR that adds the new GraphQL page is merged. Therefore, only merge the MR against the
+[`gitlab-docs`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-docs) repository after the content has
+been merged and live on `docs.gitlab.com`.
