Editing

Edition is already optimised for adding, updating and removing documentation pages in CloudCannon.

Documentation pages

• Add, update or remove a documentation page in the Documentation collection.
• Change the category of a documentation page to move it to another section in the navigation.
• Documentation pages are organised in the navigation by category, with URLs based on the path inside the _docs folder.

Change log

• Add, update or remove change log entries from your posts.
• Tag entries as minor or major in the front matter.

Search

• Add excluded_in_search: true to any documentation page's front matter to exclude that page in the search results.

Navigation

• Change site.show_full_navigation to control all or only the current navigation group being open.
