* Fix editor docs accuracy, split media page, clear translation orphans
Accuracy fixes, each verified against mintlify/mint or mintlify/server:
- pages.mdx: "Editors and managers can restore them" -> "admins".
"Manager" is not a Mintlify role.
- index.mdx: publishing on a feature branch does not automatically open a
pull request; you choose commit-to-branch or PR. Contradicted the
branching page's own table.
- branching-and-publishing.mdx: preview deployments build when you open a
pull request, not on every branch save. Confirmed in gitlabWebhooks
(handleMergeRequestOpenEvent) and cruxWebhooks (keyed on reviewId).
tutorial.mdx was already correct.
- settings.mdx: rewritten against editor-settings-form.tsx. The panel has
four sections, not "two layers", and the entire Appearance section was
undocumented - including "Open live preview in new tab", which
live-preview.mdx already linked readers to. Corrected three setting
labels, noted that draft PRs default to on, added the 20,000-character
instruction limit.
- live-preview.mdx: link now resolves to /editor/settings#appearance.
De-bloat:
- Split the media section out of pages.mdx (172 lines, 15 subtopics) into
editor/media.mdx and added it to the nav.
- Trimmed index.mdx from 11 sidebar-duplicating cards to 4.
Translation orphans and redirects:
- Deleted 7 translated files whose English source was removed in April and
June. The translate automation never cleaned them up, and in PR #6062 it
wrote into es|fr|zh/editor/media.mdx 34 days after the English source was
deleted.
- Dropped /editor/media -> /editor/pages so it stops shadowing the
recreated page.
- Added /{es,fr,zh}/editor/publish, completing an English-only redirect.
- Added /editor/collaborate and its language variants. That page was
deleted in June with no redirect and has been a live 404 since.

* Restructure editor docs: 14 pages to 9, cut UI description
The editor section had grown to 14 pages, about 40% of which described
things a user can see on screen. The ratio was 105 field-enumeration
bullets to 42 procedural steps.
New structure, organized around what is invisible rather than what is
on screen:
Overview absorbs git-essentials (concepts + the Git mapping table)
Tutorial unchanged
Edit content absorbs media and navigation
Publish branch mechanics, conflicts, git sync, commit signing
Review previews, pull requests, approve and merge
Collaborate comments + suggestions + real-time editing
Editor agent trimmed
Settings absorbs configurations as a pointer
Keyboard shortcuts unchanged
Removed: git-essentials, media, navigation, live-preview, comments,
suggestions, configurations, branching-and-publishing. Added: publish,
review, collaborate.
configurations.mdx was the clearest cut. It was a 193-line field-by-field
mirror of the Site configurations panel, which is a third rendering of
information already in the docs.json schema and in organize/settings-*
(2,694 lines). It is now a short section in settings.mdx covering only
what is specific to editing configuration from the editor: real-time
sync, the SVG logo constraint, and the redirects interface.
Also cut: block actions, the minimap, code block options, right-click
menu enumerations, page settings field lists (already delegated to
/organize/pages), and most screenshots of self-evident controls.
1,320 to 848 body lines. Field-enumeration bullets 105 to 29.
English redirects added for all eight removed pages. Language variants
deliberately omitted: es/fr/zh still carry the old structure, so
redirecting those paths now would shadow pages that still exist there.
The translation automation should mirror this restructure; verify
afterward that no orphans remain.
Vale vocabulary widened rather than reworded around: autocommit(s|ed|ing)?,
autosav(e|es|ed|ing), dotfile(s)?.
mint broken-links clean, mint a11y clean, vale 0 errors on editor/.

* Correct keyboard shortcuts against the editor keymap
Verified every documented shortcut against the bindings in mintlify/mint
rather than inferring them. The app-level set is exhaustive:
mod+backslash, mod+i, mod+k, mod+s, mod+shift+period, mod+z, shift+mod+d,
shift+mod+s. Visual-mode bindings come from the Tiptap extensions.
- Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+F ("Switch between Navigation and Files tree") does not
exist. No such binding is registered anywhere in the dashboard. Replaced
with the real binding at that spot in the UI: Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+. toggles
"Show all files".
- Added Heading 5 and Heading 6. Heading.configure sets levels 1-6 and
preserves the parent Mod-Alt-N shortcuts; the table stopped at 4.
- Added Cmd/Ctrl+G for accordion group, bound in Accordions.tsx.
Confirmed correct and unchanged: Cmd+K search, Cmd+I agent, Cmd+Shift+S
mode toggle, Cmd+Shift+D diff, Cmd+\ sidebar, Cmd+Shift+M comment,
Cmd+Shift+E suggesting mode, Cmd+Shift+X strikethrough, Cmd+K link,
Cmd+Enter line break, Cmd+Shift+8 unordered list, and that source mode
runs Monaco.

* Document auto publish, drop the deprecated deploy branch lock
Auto publish is available to all deployments, so the settings panel shows
"Auto publish" rather than "Main branch autocommits". It is not just a
rename: when it is on, the editor hides the branch selector and the
Publish button entirely (TopBar returns null for both), so there is no
pending state and no review step. Documented that behavior in
settings.mdx and added a note at the top of publish.mdx, since that page
otherwise assumes a publish step exists.
The deployment branch lock was deprecated and removed, so it stays out of
the docs. It was already dropped from settings.mdx in the restructure.

* 💅
* copy edit index
* Fix editor docs I verified against dead code
Three claims traced to code that never mounts. Ethan confirmed the diff
shortcut does not work, which exposed the pattern.
- Removed Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+D for diff view. It is registered only at
SubBar/index.tsx:488, inside EditorSubBar, which is exported and
imported by nothing. There is no live diff shortcut; exitDiff exists
only as an onClick in EditorModeContextMenu.
- Source mode runs CodeMirror, not Monaco. SourceEditor resolves through
source-editor/index.tsx to editor-view.tsx, which imports
@codemirror/state and @codemirror/view. Monaco is used only by
EmbedModal. The shortcut rows themselves were correct: CodeMirror's
defaultKeymap and searchKeymap match VS Code for toggle comment, move
line, duplicate line, find, and add cursor above/below, all confirmed
against @codemirror/commands.
- Rewrote the left panel section of pages.mdx. The tabs are Home and
Publishing (EditorNavigationSidebarContents.tsx:62), not Navigation and
Files. The Navigation/Files switcher lives in the same dead SubBar
component. Home renders the workspace file tree including private
pages; Publishing renders the site navigation and site settings.
Confirmed by the e2e helper openPublishingNavigation, which queries the
Publishing tab by role against the running app.
Also corrected in that section: the tree hides docs.json, dotfiles,
extensionless files, all-caps Markdown, and css/js/jsx/mjs/cjs/pdf unless
Show all files is on; "unlisted" was an invented term, replaced with a
link to /organize/hidden-pages; and the folder menu item is "New page",
confirmed by e2e, not "New file".
Added four source-mode bindings that are real and undocumented: Cmd+B and
Cmd+I insert Markdown markers, Cmd+Option+Shift+[ and ] fold and unfold
all.

* Mirror the editor restructure into es, fr, and zh
Brings all three translated sites onto the same nine-page structure as
English instead of waiting for the translate automation, which has a
documented history of leaving orphans behind.
Content:
- Deleted 21 orphans: branching-and-publishing, comments, configurations,
git-essentials, live-preview, navigation, and suggestions in each
language. None had an English source after the restructure.
- Added publish, review, and collaborate in each language.
- Rewrote index, pages, settings, agent, and keyboard-shortcuts to match
the current English content, including Home/Publishing tabs, CodeMirror
source mode, Show all files, and the restored Appearance section.
- Kept the existing conventions: es uses usted, fr uses vous, keywords and
product UI labels stay in English, and every heading is wrapped in a
<div id="english-slug"> so cross-language anchors resolve. Verified that
every English anchor exists in all three languages.
Navigation and redirects:
- es.json, fr.json, and zh.json now list the same nine pages as docs.json.
- Removed six locale redirects that would have shadowed the new publish
and collaborate pages once they existed.
- Added 21 locale redirects for the removed pages and retargeted the
destinations that pointed at them.
- Retargeted four /editor/configurations redirects that pointed at
#site-configurations, an anchor dropped in the settings rewrite.
- Rewrote stale links in changelog, authentication-setup, concepts, and
glossary across all three languages, since broken-links does not follow
redirects.
English fixes needed first, all caused by the settings restructure:
- Restored ## Appearance. Two pages link to #appearance, and its four
preferences were otherwise undocumented.
- Restored ## Create draft pull requests by default, which changelog
links to and which defaults to on.
- Promoted Main branch autocommits from ### to ##; it was nested under PR
instructions, and its warning named a setting no longer on the page.
- Retargeted publish.mdx from the removed #auto-publish anchor.
- Fixed a missing space in the settings page intro.
mint broken-links clean, mint a11y clean (1042 files), vale 0 errors,
all five JSON files valid.

* docs: document the Mintlify MDX VS Code extension
Add a page for the Mintlify MDX extension (mintlify.mintlify-snippets),
which had no coverage outside a 2024 changelog entry describing its
snippets-only predecessor.
Covers autocomplete, diagnostics, hover docs, go-to-definition,
docs.json schema validation, the in-editor preview panel, surround
snippets, all four settings, and all five commands, verified against
the shipped v2.0.0 manifest and bundle.
Replace the unifiedjs.vscode-mdx recommendation in cli/install.mdx.
Our extension warns users to disable that one, so the previous
guidance routed them into a known conflict.

* docs: accept all prefetch word forms in Vale vocabulary
The vocabulary had a bare `prefetching` entry, so `prefetches` and
`prefetched` in cli/preview.mdx were flagged as misspellings. Vale
wraps entries in \b, so the bare form matches only that one variant.
Use `(?i)prefetch(es|ed|ing)?` rather than the uncased suffix pattern
used by neighboring entries. An uncased entry also generates a
case-enforcing Vale.Terms rule, which would flag a sentence-initial
"Prefetching" as an error. "prefetch" has no canonical capitalization
worth enforcing, so the non-enforcing form avoids a latent false
positive.

A wider crop of the thread puts "usually this is implied, i think we
can remove it" as a lead-in to the step 7 screenshot rather than a
follow-on to the Getting help one. Flipping both accordingly.
- Remove step 7, Review IT and security requirements, and renumber
Review results to step 7.
- Restore Getting help, with the first bullet pointing at the AE and
SE instead of a shared Slack channel.
Knock-on edits so nothing dangles:
- Drop the security row from the results table.
- Week 3 of the timeline no longer references an IT review.
- The custom domain link moves into step 1, which is now the only
place stating that authentication needs one.
- The IT administrator's responsibility now reads as DNS for a custom
domain rather than configuring authentication.

- Drop the decision maker row from the participants table.
- Frame the success section as the value drivers customers commonly
measure Mintlify against, and add engineering time saved as a
fourth driver.
- Remove the Getting help section. Contacting your AE or SE is
already implied, and the opening note carries the support email.
- Refer to the AE and SE throughout instead of a generic Mintlify
representative, with the acronyms expanded on first use.

* Add hidden POC onboarding page
Adds poc-onboarding.mdx, a self-serve setup guide for enterprise
customers running a Mintlify proof of concept. Covers account and
repository setup, inviting the team, migrating sample content,
publishing a first change, branding, the AI assistant, SSO and
security, and a results review.
Written for non-technical readers, with each step naming who from
their team is needed and for how long.
The page is not listed in docs.json and carries noindex: true, so it
is reachable by direct URL only. This matches enterprise-contracting
and migration-services/go-live-checklist.

* Rework POC steps against the SE working session guides
Pulls the mechanics, prerequisites, and objection-handling from the
internal SE working sessions into the customer-facing steps.
Corrections:
- Authentication requires a custom domain or *.mintlify.app subdomain
and does not work on .mintlify.site or a custom basepath. The page
previously treated the custom domain as skippable during a POC and
auth as independent of it. Now flagged in step 1 and step 7.
- Separates dashboard SSO (who logs in) from site authentication (who
reads), with the real method taxonomy and the two-account test.
Additions:
- The repo/dashboard/live-site model up front.
- Step 4 rewritten with the actual editor flow, plus the point that
publishing writes a Git commit so CODEOWNERS and branch protection
still apply.
- Step 5 gets the docs.json theme keys, the light/dark check, and OG.
- Step 6 gets the three-way answer check (answered, correct, which
page cited), the description-quality lever, both MCP servers, the
contextual menu, and automations.
- Sample content chosen from top pages by traffic; two navigation
tests; Notion and Confluence sync as a third migration route.
- Success criteria reframed as one lever and one metric with a
recorded baseline.

* Tighten POC onboarding for house style
Editorial pass by Marco. Cuts roughly a third of the page: replaces
the conversational framing with a workflow table up front, converts
the intro card grids to prose and tables, and trims each step to the
action and its outcome.
All substance retained, including the authentication domain
requirement and the split between dashboard access and documentation
access.

* Apply review suggestions from @ethanpalm
Make the step names in the intro workflow table and the section
headings match exactly, and rename the participants table column to
Role.
