Publish a docs site

Once you’ve finished writing, editing, or importing your content, you can publish your work to the web as a docs site. Your docs will be published on the web and available to your selected audience.

To get started, create a new docs site for your content to live on, or publish a space as a docs site.

Create a docs site

To create a docs site, click the plus + icon next to Docs site in the sidebar on the left.

The content on your site comes from spaces in your organization. When you create a new docs site, you can create a new space, or link an existing one.

After linking a space, you'll be able to choose who can access your content once it’s published.

Docs site home

Alternatively, you can create a docs site from the space you want to publish by opening the space and clicking Share in the top-right corner of the window. Then choose Publish as a docs site in the share modal’s sidebar.

From this menu, you can link your space to an existing docs site, or create a new one to publish your space on its own. It also shows any other docs site your space is already linked to.

Delete or unpublish a docs site

To delete a docs site, you'll need to go into your site's settings. See site-settings.md for more information.
