Because Mintlify is Git-backed, your docs content is always available in your repository — you already own it. There’s no proprietary export step needed for your pages.
What you own (in your repository)
- All MDX page files.
- Your
docs.json configuration.
- Images and other assets in your repository.
This content is in your Git repository and accessible regardless of your Mintlify account status.
What Mintlify stores (accessible from the dashboard)
- Analytics data — Page views, search queries, and feedback. Export analytics data before closing your account.
- Deployment history — A log of all deployments, including timestamps and commit messages.
- Member and access logs — Audit logs of membership changes (Enterprise plans).
Export analytics data
Currently, analytics data can be viewed in the dashboard but doesn’t have a one-click export. Connect a third-party analytics provider (PostHog, GA4, etc.) to retain your analytics data outside Mintlify. See Connect an analytics provider for setup.
Migrating away from Mintlify
If you’re migrating to a different docs platform:
- Your MDX content can be used with any MDX-compatible platform.
- Your
docs.json navigation structure may need to be adapted to the target platform’s configuration format.
- Mintlify-specific components (
<Card>, <Steps>, etc.) will need to be replaced with the target platform’s equivalents or converted to standard Markdown.
Keep your docs in plain Markdown and standard MDX components where possible — it makes future migrations much simpler.
