+How to Switch to the sphinx-book-theme for Documentation
+########################################################
+
+This how-to will help you switch from your existing Sphinx theme to the
+sphinx-book-theme for a sphinx documentation project.
+
+Assumptions
+***********
+
+.. This section should contain a bulleted list of assumptions you have of the
+ person who is following the How-to. The assumptions may link to other
+ how-tos if possible.
+
+* You already have a Sphinx documentation project.
+
+* You know how to work with Python code.
+
+Steps
+*****
+
+.. A task should have 3 - 7 steps. Tasks with more should be broken down into digestible chunks.
+
+#. Update and rebuild your requirements.
+
+ #. Find the requirements file that has your documentation requirements in it.
+
+ For most projects there will be a ``requirements/docs.in`` file which will
+ contain your theme as a Python requirement. For example if you are using
+ the deprecated ``edx-sphinx-theme``, you'll see a line with that package
+ name on it.
+
+ #. Remove your old theme (for example, ``edx-sphinx-theme``) and add a line for the
+ ``sphinx-book-theme``.
+
+ .. code::
+
+ - edx-sphinx-theme
+ + sphinx-book-theme
+
+ #. Run ``make upgrade``
+
+ #. Install your doc requirements.
+
+ .. code::
+
+ pip install -r requirements/docs.txt # in most cases
+
+#. Update conf.py
+
+ Add or update the following
+ .. code::
+
+ import os
+
+ html_theme_options = {
+
+ "repository_url": TODO: Add a github URL Here, for example https://github.com/openedx/repo-name,
+ "repository_branch": TODO: Add the correct branch, for example 'main',
+ "path_to_docs": "docs/",
+ "logo_only": True,
+ "home_page_in_toc": True,
+ "use_repository_button": True,
+ "use_issues_button": True,
+ "use_edit_page_button": True,
+ # Please don't change unless you know what you're doing.
+ "extra_footer": """

+ }
+
+ # Note the logo won't show up properly yet because there is an upstream
+ # bug in the theme that needs to be fixed first.
+ # If you'd like you can temporarily copy the logo file to your `_static`
+ # directory.
+ html_logo = "https://logos.openedx.org/open-edx-logo-color.png"
+ html_favicon = "https://logos.openedx.org/open-edx-favicon.ico"
+
+ # Set the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE if it's not set.
+ # Only if your project has a dependency on Django
+ if not os.environ.get('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'):
+ # If you do depend on django you'll need a settings file that you can
+ # use when building docs. This will allow you to pull docstrings from
+ # your code.
+ os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'test_utils.test_settings'
+
+#. Re-build your project and fix any errors.
+
+ .. code::
+
+ make html # and fix errors until there are no errors.
+
+Once everything is building correctly without errors you should be all set to
+make a pull request with your changes!
+
+.. Following the steps, you should add the result and any follow-up tasks needed.
