Reader search
Readers can search your docs by clicking the search bar or pressing⌘K. Search covers page titles, headings, and body content.
AI search
On Growth and Enterprise plans, enable AI search in Project Settings → Search. AI search understands natural language questions — readers can ask “how do I do X?” and get a direct answer drawn from your docs, rather than a list of links.Search analytics
The Analytics → Search tab in your dashboard shows what readers are searching for, including queries that returned no results. Use the “no results” list to identify gaps in your documentation.Site navigation
Your docs site’s navigation is defined indocs.json. The sidebar structure supports:
- Groups — Collapsible sections containing pages.
- Tabs — A top-level nav bar for switching between major sections.
- Anchors — Persistent links to external URLs or specific pages, always visible in the sidebar.
Tips for good navigation
- Keep group names short and action-oriented (“Get started”, “Configure”, “Reference”).
- Limit nesting to 2-3 levels — deeper hierarchies are hard to scan.
- Use anchors for frequently accessed external links like your API reference or changelog.
Editor navigation
In the web editor, the sidebar on the left shows all pages in your docs site. You can drag pages to reorder them, create new pages with the+ button, and rename pages by clicking on their name.
Navigation order in the web editor reflects the order in
docs.json. If you reorder pages in docs.json directly via Git, the change will appear in the editor after the next sync.
