+
+
+ Edit directly in your browser with a visual interface
+
+
-## Code-based workflow
+## Local development
-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.
+Work with documentation files in your local environment alongside your code.
### Install the CLI
-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 Mintlify CLI to preview changes locally:
```bash npm
npm i -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
+### Make your first edit
-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:
+1. Clone your repository from the onboarding process
+2. Open `index.mdx` and update the title:
```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"
+title: "My Documentation"
+description: "Welcome to my docs"
---
```
-### Preview the changes
+### Preview locally
-To preview the changes locally, run the following command:
+Run the development server:
```bash
mint dev
```
-Your preview will be available at `localhost:3000`.
+Your site runs at `localhost:3000` with live reloading.
-### Push the changes
+### Deploy changes
-When you are ready to publish your changes, push them to your repository.
+Push your changes to GitHub. Mintlify automatically builds and deploys your updates.
-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).
+## Web editor
-After the deployment completes, your latest update will be available at `.mintlify.app`.
+Edit documentation directly in your browser with a visual interface.
-
- Optionally, skip the web editor workflow and jump to adding a custom domain.
-
+### Access the editor
-## 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".
+1. Open your [dashboard](https://dashboard.mintlify.com)
+2. Click **Editor** in the sidebar
- 
- 
+
+
-
- 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
+### Edit content
-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.
+Select any file from the sidebar to start editing. The editor provides rich formatting tools and live preview.
- Use branches to preview and review changes through pull requests before deploying to your live site.
+Type `/` to open the command menu and access components, formatting, and more.
-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).
-
-## Adding a custom domain
-
-While your `.mintlify.app` subdomain works well for testing and development, most teams prefer using a custom domain for production documentation.
+### Publish changes
-To add a custom domain, navigate to the [Domain Setup](https://dashboard.mintlify.com/settings/deployment/custom-domain) page in your dashboard.
+Click **Publish** to deploy your changes instantly.
- 
- 
+
+
-Enter your domain (for example, `docs.yourcompany.com`) and follow the provided instructions to configure DNS settings with your domain provider.
+## Add a custom domain
+
+Replace your `.mintlify.app` URL with your own domain:
+
+1. Go to **Settings** → **Custom Domain** in your dashboard
+2. Enter your domain (e.g., `docs.company.com`)
+3. Add this DNS record with your domain provider:
-| Record Type | Name | Value | TTL |
-|-------------|------|-------|-----|
-| CNAME | docs (or subdomain) | cname.mintlify.app | 3600 |
+| Type | Name | Value | TTL |
+|------|------|-------|-----|
+| CNAME | docs | cname.mintlify.app | 3600 |
-
- DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate, though changes often complete much sooner.
-
+
+
+
+
-## Next steps
+DNS changes typically take 5-30 minutes to propagate.
