Web editor

The classic Mintlify web editor for creating and publishing documentation in your browser. Sunsetting May 7, 2026.

The classic web editor fully deprecates on May 7, 2026.

The new editor is now available with real-time collaboration, automatic saving across devices, and improved syncing. See Editor for more information.

The web editor lets you create, edit, and publish documentation directly in your browser.

Editor modes

The editor has two modes you can switch between using the toggle in the toolbar.

Visual mode shows a live preview of your content as you type. Press / to insert components and media, or format text.

Markdown mode gives you direct access to the MDX source of your pages. Use this for precise control over component properties and frontmatter.

Publish changes

The branch you work on determines how the editor publishes your changes. If you have branch protection rules on your repository, the editor enforces them.

• Deployment branch: Publishing updates your live site immediately.
• Feature branches: Publishing creates a pull request for review before deploying to your live site.
