|  | 127 | +## Troubleshooting | 
|  | 128 | + | 
|  | 129 | +### Common Issues | 
|  | 130 | + | 
|  | 131 | +**ImportError: No module named 'django'** | 
|  | 132 | +- This is expected when building documentation without Django installed | 
|  | 133 | +- The `conf.py` file includes mock imports for Django modules | 
|  | 134 | + | 
|  | 135 | +**Sphinx build errors** | 
|  | 136 | +- Check that all dependencies are installed: `poetry install --with dev` or `pip install -e ".[dev]"` | 
|  | 137 | +- Ensure you're in the `docs` directory when running commands | 
|  | 138 | +- Check the build output for specific error messages | 
|  | 139 | + | 
|  | 140 | +**Missing intersphinx links** | 
|  | 141 | +- The documentation links to external documentation (Python, Django, etc.) | 
|  | 142 | +- These links may not work offline | 
|  | 143 | +- This is normal behavior | 
|  | 144 | + | 
|  | 145 | +### Getting Help | 
|  | 146 | + | 
|  | 147 | +- Check the [Sphinx documentation](https://www.sphinx-doc.org/) | 
|  | 148 | +- Review the [Read the Docs theme documentation](https://sphinx-rtd-theme.readthedocs.io/) | 
|  | 149 | +- Open an issue on the project repository  |
