# User documentation
Welcome to GitLab! We're glad to have you here!
As a GitLab user you'll have access to all the features
your [subscription](https://about.gitlab.com/products/)
includes, except [GitLab administrator](../README.md#administrator-documentation)
settings, unless you have admin privileges to install, configure,
and upgrade your GitLab instance.
For GitLab.com, admin privileges are restricted to the GitLab team.
If you run your own GitLab instance and are looking for the administration settings,
please refer to the [administration](../README.md#administrator-documentation)
documentation.
## Overview
GitLab is a fully integrated software development platform that enables you
and your team to work cohesively, faster, transparently, and effectively,
since the discussion of a new idea until taking that idea to production all
all the way through, from within the same platform.
Please check this page for an overview on [GitLab's features](https://about.gitlab.com/features/).
## Use cases
GitLab is a git-based platforms that integrates a great number of essential tools for software development and deployment, and project management:
- Code hosting in repositories with version control
- Track proposals for new implementations, bug reports, and feedback with a
fully featured [Issue Tracker](project/issues/index.md#issue-tracker)
- Organize and prioritize with [Issue Boards](project/issues/index.md#issue-boards)
- Code review in [Merge Requests](project/merge_requests/index.md) with live-preview changes per
branch with [Review Apps](../ci/review_apps/index.md)
- Build, test and deploy with built-in [Continuous Integration](../ci/README.md)
- Deploy your personal and professional static websites with [GitLab Pages](project/pages/index.md)
- Integrate with Docker with [GitLab Container Registry](project/container_registry.md)
- Track the development lifecycle with [GitLab Cycle Analytics](project/cycle_analytics.md)
With GitLab Enterprise Edition, you can also:
- Provide support with [Service Desk](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/service_desk.html)

For more use cases please check our [Technical Articles](../articles/index.md).
## Projects
In GitLab, you can create projects for numerous reasons, such as, host
your code, use it as an issue tracker, collaborate on code, and continuously
build, test, and deploy your app with built-in GitLab CI/CD. Or, you can do
it all at once, from one single project.
### Issues
Explore the best of GitLab [Issues](project/issues/index.md).
### Merge Requests
Collanorate on code, gather reviews, live preview changes per branch, and
request approvals with [Merge Requests](project/merge_requests/index.md).
### Milestones
Work on multiple issues and merge requests towards the same target date
with [Milestones](project/milestones/index.md).
### GitLab Pages
Publish your static site directly from GitLab with [GitLab Pages](project/pages/index.md). You
can [build, test, and deploy any Static Site Generator](https://about.gitlab.com/2016/06/17/ssg-overview-gitlab-pages-part-3-examples-ci/) with Pages.
### Container Registry
Build and deploy Docker images with [GitLab Container Registry](project/container_registry.md).
## GitLab CI/CD
Use built-in [GitLab CI/CD](../ci/README.md) to test, build, and deploy your applications
directly from GitLab. No third-party integrations needed.
### Auto Deploy
Deploy your application out-of-the-box with [GitLab Auto Deploy](../ci/autodeploy/index.md).
### Review Apps
Live-preview the changes introduced by a merge request with [Review Apps](../ci/review_apps/index.md).
## Groups
With GitLab [Groups](group/index.md) you can assemble related projects together
and grant members access to several projects at once.
### Subgroups
Groups can also be nested in [subgroups](group/subgroups/index.md).

such as Trello, JIRA, etc.
## Git and GitLab
Learn what is [Git](../topics/git/index.md) and its best practices.
## Discussions
In GitLab, you can comment and mention collaborators in issues,
merge requests, code snippets, and commits.
When performing inline reviews to implementations
to your codebase through merge requests you can
gather feedback through [resolvable discussions](discussions/index.md#resolvable-discussions).
## Todos
Never forget to reply to your collaborators. [GitLab Todos](../workflow/todos.md)
are a tool for working faster and more effectively with your team,
