Quickstart

Edit, customize, and deploy your docs

Your docs are built from MDX files in this repository. Every push to GitHub triggers an automatic build and deploy.

Edit a page

Open any .mdx file and start writing. MDX supports standard Markdown plus Jamdesk components.

---
title: My Page
description: A brief description for SEO
---

# Heading

Regular markdown works — **bold**, *italic*, `code`, [links](https://example.com).

Add a new page

1
Create an MDX file

Add a new .mdx file anywhere in your project, for example guides/deployment.mdx.

2
Add it to navigation

Open docs.json and add the page path to the navigation section:

{
  "group": "Guides",
  "pages": ["guides/deployment"]
}
3
Push to GitHub

Commit and push. Your site will rebuild automatically.
