Use dashboard settings when you want to configure your docs without editing
docs.json.
What settings control
Dashboard settings cover global docs behavior and presentation, including site title, branding, logos, navbar links, footer links, assistant options, and other site-level defaults.
These settings are different from page content. Page content lives in MDX files; site settings control how the whole docs site behaves.
Dashboard and docs.json
Most settings map to values in docs.json. You can use the dashboard for
no-code configuration, or edit docs.json directly when working locally or in
source mode.
Use the dashboard path when you want guided controls. Use Configure with docs.json when you want the file-based reference.
Publish settings changes
Settings changes are published the same way page changes are published. When the draft is ready, click Publish and watch the deployment from Overview.
