-
-## Editing workflows
-
-Mintlify offers two workflows for creating and maintaining your documentation:
-
-
- For users who prefer working with existing tools in their local environment. Click to jump to this section.
-
-
-
- For users who prefer a visual interface in their web browser. Click to jump to this section.
-
-
-## Code-based workflow
-
-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.
-
-### Install the CLI
-
-
- **Prerequisite**: The CLI requires [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en) v20.17.0 or higher through v24. LTS versions are preferred.
-
-
-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:
-
-
-
-```bash npm
-npm i -g mint
-```
-
+Then authorize your account under **Settings** > **My Profile** > **Authorize GitHub account**.
-```bash pnpm
-pnpm add -g mint
-```
+## Make your first edit
-
+Choose your preferred workflow:
-### Create a new project
+
+
+ 1. Select **Editor** in your dashboard sidebar.
+ 2. Open `index.mdx` and change the title to "Hello World".
+ 3. Select **Publish** to deploy your changes.
-Run `mint new` to create a new documentation project. See the [CLI installation guide](/installation#create-a-new-project) for details on the command and flags.
+
+ 
-### Edit the documentation
+ 
+
-After setting up your project, you can start editing your documentation files. For example, update the title of the introduction page:
+
+ Type / in the editor to access formatting tools and components.
+
-1. Navigate to your documentation repository.
-2. Open `index.mdx` and locate the top of the file:
+ For more details, see the [web editor documentation](/editor).
+
+
+ Install the CLI ([Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en) v20.17.0+ required):
-```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 is available at `localhost:3000`.
-
-
- 
+ ```bash
+ npm i -g mint
+ ```
- 
-
+ Create a project and preview locally:
-### Push the changes
+ ```bash
+ mint new
+ mint dev
+ ```
-When you are ready to publish your changes, push them to your repository.
+ Edit `index.mdx` to change the title, then push to deploy:
-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).
+ ```mdx index.mdx
+ ---
+ title: "Hello World"
+ description: "This is the introduction to the documentation"
+ ---
+ ```
-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.
-
+
+
-## Web editor workflow
+ For more details, see the [CLI installation guide](/installation).
+
+
-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.
+## Add a custom domain
-### Access the web editor
+Go to [Domain Setup](https://dashboard.mintlify.com/settings/deployment/custom-domain) in your dashboard and add a CNAME record with your DNS provider:
-1. Log in to your [dashboard](https://dashboard.mintlify.com).
-2. Select **Editor** on the left sidebar.
+| Record Type | Name | Value | TTL |
+| ----------- | ------------------- | -------------------- | ---- |
+| CNAME | docs (or subdomain) | cname.vercel-dns.com | 3600 |
-
- 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.
-
-
- Use branches to preview and review changes through pull requests before deploying to your live site.
-
-
-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).
-
-## 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.
-
-To add a custom domain, navigate to the [Domain Setup](https://dashboard.mintlify.com/settings/deployment/custom-domain) page in your dashboard.
-
-
- 
-
- 
-
-
-Enter your domain (for example, `docs.yourcompany.com`) and follow the provided instructions to configure DNS settings with your domain provider.
-
-
- | Record Type | Name | Value | TTL |
- | ----------- | ------------------- | -------------------- | ---- |
- | CNAME | docs (or subdomain) | cname.vercel-dns.com | 3600 |
-
-
-
- DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate, though changes often complete much sooner.
-
+For detailed instructions, see [custom domains](/customize/custom-domain).
## Next steps
-Congratulations! You have successfully deployed your documentation site with Mintlify. Here are suggested next steps to enhance your documentation:
-
-
- 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.
-
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-If you encounter issues during the setup process, check these common troubleshooting solutions:
-
-
-
- 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 up 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.
