How to Update Your Live Documentation
After you've published your documentation, any new edits to your articles or changes to your site's appearance won't automatically appear on your live site. This guide shows you how to publish these updates to ensure your public documentation is always current. You will need to have an already published project.
Publishing Updates After Changing Site Settings
Use this method after you've made changes to your documentation's appearance, such as updating the hero section, changing themes and colors, or adding navigation links.
- From the project editor, click the Settings icon in the upper-left corner.
- In the Project Settings window, navigate to the Publishing tab.
- After you've saved your customizations, a 'Changes pending publication' notice will appear.
- Click the Publish Changes button to apply the updates to your live site.
Publishing Updates After Editing an Article
Use this quick method when you've made content changes directly within an article.
- After editing the text or images in your article, click the Save changes button in the top-right corner.
- A Republish button will appear in the header, next to the published link.
- Click the Republish button to push your content updates to the live documentation.
Summary
This article explains how to update your live documentation after making changes. Whether you're adjusting site-wide settings like themes and navigation or editing the content of a single article, you must republish your project for the changes to become visible to the public. Hinto provides two convenient ways to do this: through the 'Publish Changes' button in Project Settings or the 'Republish' button in the main editor.
