Thanks for filing this @anderseknert! We'll bring this page back (albeit not inside the intro) soon. |

When we refreshed the docs last year we removed the page titled 'how OPA works' and in the process lost the description of the OPA document model that explains the base and virtual document concepts. Since then a bunch of people have referred back to those docs after getting started. This change re-introduces the model and provides an explanation of _why_ the model exists. This change also replaces the infographic with text containing the same content as that feels a bit more inline with the rest of the page. Fixes open-policy-agent#2284 Signed-off-by: Torin Sandall <torinsandall@gmail.com>

Expected Behavior
The docs used to have a section on the base document, virtual documents and their relation to policies: https://www.openpolicyagent.org/docs/v0.13.5/how-does-opa-work/
These docs were very useful to help connect the OPA dots!
Actual Behavior
No current documentation covering the topic.
Additional Info
There are still links scattered around in the docs pointing to the "how-does-opa-work" page for en explanation of the base/virtual document, though that's not really explained by that page anymore.
