+
+
+
+
+## Choose your editing workflow
+
+Mintlify supports two distinct workflows. Pick the one that matches your team's preferences:
+
+
+
+ Perfect for developers who want to work locally with familiar tools like VS Code, Git, and the command line.
-
- For users who prefer a visual interface in their web browser. Click to jump to this section.
+
+ Ideal for content creators who prefer a visual, browser-based editing experience with instant previews.
+
-## Code-based workflow
+
+You can switch between workflows at any time. Many teams use both depending on the type of changes they're making.
+
-The code-based workflow integrates with your existing development environment and Git repositories. This workflow is best for technical teams who want to manage documentation alongside code.
+## Code-based editing
-### Install the CLI
+Set up your local development environment to edit documentation with your favorite tools.
-To work locally with your documentation, install the Command Line Interface (CLI), called [mint](https://www.npmjs.com/package/mint), by running this command in your terminal:
-
-
+
+
+ Install the CLI to work with your documentation locally.
+
+
```bash npm
- npm i -g mint
+ npm install -g mint
```
-
+
```bash pnpm
pnpm add -g mint
```
-
-
-
- You need Node.js installed on your machine. If you encounter installation issues, check the troubleshooting guide.
-
-
-### Edit the documentation
-
-After setting up your environment, you can start editing your documentation files. For example, update the title of the introduction page:
-
-1. Open your repository created during onboarding.
-2. Open `index.mdx` and locate the top of the file:
-
-```mdx index.mdx
----
-title: "Introduction"
-description: "This is the introduction to the documentation"
----
-```
-
-3. Update the `title` field to `"Hello World"`.
-
-```mdx index.mdx {2}
----
-title: "Hello World"
-description: "This is the introduction to the documentation"
----
-```
-
-### Preview the changes
-
-To preview the changes locally, run the following command:
-
-```bash
-mint dev
-```
-
-Your preview will be available at `localhost:3000`.
-
-
- 
- 
-
-
-### Push the changes
-
-When you are ready to publish your changes, push them to your repository.
-
-Mintlify automatically detects the changes, builds your documentation, and deploys the updates to your site. Monitor the deployment status in your GitHub repository commit history or the [dashboard](https://dashboard.mintlify.com).
-
-After the deployment completes, your latest update will be available at `.mintlify.app`.
-
-
- Optionally, skip the web editor workflow and jump to adding a custom domain.
+
+ ```bash yarn
+ yarn global add mint
+ ```
+
+
+
+ Requires Node.js version 19 or higher. Check your version with `node --version`.
+
+
+
+ Verify installation by running `mint --version` in your terminal.
+
+
+
+
+ Clone the repository that was created during your Mintlify onboarding.
+
+ ```bash
+ git clone https://github.com/your-username/your-docs-repo.git
+ cd your-docs-repo
+ ```
+
+
+ You should see files like `docs.json`, `index.mdx`, and other documentation files in the repository.
+
+
+
+
+ Preview your documentation site locally while you make changes.
+
+ ```bash
+ mint dev
+ ```
+
+ Your site will be available at `http://localhost:3000`.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ The development server automatically reloads when you save changes to your files.
+
+
+
+
+ Update the homepage to see the editing workflow in action.
+
+ 1. Open `index.mdx` in your code editor
+ 2. Find the frontmatter at the top of the file:
+
+ ```mdx index.mdx
+ ---
+ title: "Introduction"
+ description: "Welcome to our documentation"
+ ---
+ ```
+
+ 3. Change the title to something personal:
+
+ ```mdx index.mdx {2}
+ ---
+ title: "Welcome to Mintlify"
+ description: "Your beautiful documentation starts here"
+ ---
+ ```
+
+ 4. Save the file and check your local preview
+
+
+ Your changes should appear immediately at `http://localhost:3000`.
+
+
+
+
+ Push your changes to see them live on your documentation site.
+
+ ```bash
+ git add .
+ git commit -m "Update homepage title"
+ git push origin main
+ ```
+
+ Mintlify automatically builds and deploys your changes. This typically takes 1-2 minutes.
+
+
+ Visit `your-project.mintlify.app` to see your changes live.
+
+
+

+
+
+## Add a custom domain
+
+Replace your `.mintlify.app` domain with your own branded domain.
+
+
+
+ Navigate to [Domain Setup](https://dashboard.mintlify.com/settings/deployment/custom-domain) in your dashboard.
+
+
+
+ Enter your desired domain (e.g., `docs.yourcompany.com`) and follow the DNS instructions.
+
+
+ 
+ 
+
+
+ Add this CNAME record with your DNS provider:
+
+ | Record Type | Name | Value | TTL |
+ |-------------|------|-------|-----|
+ | CNAME | docs (or your subdomain) | cname.mintlify.app | 3600 |
+
+
+
+ DNS changes typically take 5-15 minutes but can take up to 48 hours.
+
+
+ Use [DNSChecker](https://dnschecker.org) to verify your CNAME record is propagating correctly.
+
+
+
+ When configured correctly, your documentation will be available at your custom domain.
+
+
+
+
+## What's next?
+
+You've successfully deployed your documentation site! Here are the most important next steps:
+
+
+
+ Customize your site's appearance, navigation, and integrations through the `docs.json` configuration file.
-## Web editor workflow
-
-The web editor workflow provides a what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) interface for creating and editing documentation. This workflow is best for people who want to work in their web browser without additional local development tools.
-
-### Access the web editor
-
-1. Log in to your [dashboard](https://dashboard.mintlify.com).
-2. Select **Editor** on the left sidebar.
-
-
- If you have not installed the GitHub App, you will be prompted to install the app when you open the web editor.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-### Edit the documentation
-
-In the web editor, you can navigate through your documentation files in the sidebar. Let's update the introduction page:
-
-Find and select `index.mdx` in the file explorer.
-
-Then, in the editor, update the title field to "Hello World".
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- The editor provides a rich set of formatting tools and components. Type / in the editor to open the command menu and access these tools.
-
-
-### Publish your changes
-
-When you're satisfied with your edits, select the **Publish** button in the top-right corner. Your changes are immediately deployed to your documentation site.
+
+ Structure your documentation with clear navigation that helps users find what they need quickly.
+
-
- Use branches to preview and review changes through pull requests before deploying to your live site.
-
+
+ Enhance your content with tabs, accordions, code blocks, and other interactive elements.
+
-For more details about using the web editor, including using branches and pull requests to collaborate and preview changes, see our [web editor documentation](/editor/getting-started).
+
+ Create interactive API references from your OpenAPI specifications.
+
+
-## Adding a custom domain
+## Troubleshooting
-While your `.mintlify.app` subdomain works well for testing and development, most teams prefer using a custom domain for production documentation.
+Run into issues? Here are solutions to the most common problems:
-To add a custom domain, navigate to the [Domain Setup](https://dashboard.mintlify.com/settings/deployment/custom-domain) page in your dashboard.
+
+
+**Check Node.js version**: Ensure you have Node.js v19+ installed (`node --version`)
-
-
-
-
+**Verify file location**: Run `mint dev` from the directory containing your `docs.json` file
-Enter your domain (for example, `docs.yourcompany.com`) and follow the provided instructions to configure DNS settings with your domain provider.
+**Clear cache**: Try `mint dev --clean` if you see build errors
+
-
-| Record Type | Name | Value | TTL |
-|-------------|------|-------|-----|
-| CNAME | docs (or subdomain) | cname.mintlify.app | 3600 |
-
+
+**Check deployment status**: Visit your GitHub repository's Actions tab to see build status
-
- DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate, though changes often complete much sooner.
-
+**Wait for deployment**: Deployments can take 2-3 minutes to complete
-## Next steps
+**Clear browser cache**: Hard refresh your browser (`Ctrl+F5` or `Cmd+Shift+R`)
+
-Congratulations! You have successfully deployed your documentation site with Mintlify. Here are suggested next steps to enhance your documentation:
+
+**Update repository access**: Go to GitHub Settings → Applications → Mintlify and adjust repository permissions
-
- Configure site-wide styling, navigation, integrations, and more with the `docs.json` file.
-
-
- Learn how to customize colors, fonts, and the overall appearance of your documentation site.
-
-
- Structure your documentation with intuitive navigation to help users find what they need.
-
-
- Enhance your documentation with interactive components like accordions, tabs, and code samples.
-
-
- Create interactive API references with OpenAPI and AsyncAPI specifications.
-
+**Re-authorize account**: Try disconnecting and reconnecting your GitHub account in Mintlify settings
+
-## Troubleshooting
+
+**Verify DNS records**: Use [DNSChecker](https://dnschecker.org) to confirm your CNAME record
-If you encounter issues during the setup process, check these common troubleshooting solutions:
+**Allow propagation time**: DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to fully propagate
-
-
- Make sure you have Node.js v19+ installed and that you run the `mint dev` command from the directory containing your `docs.json` file.
-
-
- Deployment can take upwards to a few minutes. Check your GitHub Actions (for code-based workflow) or deployment logs in the Mintlify dashboard to ensure there are no build errors.
-
-
- Verify that your DNS records are set up correctly and allow sufficient time for DNS propagation (up to 48 hours). You can use tools like [DNSChecker](https://dnschecker.org) to verify your CNAME record.
-
+**Check subdomain**: Ensure you're using the correct subdomain (e.g., `docs` not `www`)
