+  ## Navigation configuration sheet
+
+  The web editor now includes a configuration sheet for navigation nodes, allowing you to edit properties directly in the UI:
+
+  - Configure properties for all navigation types (tabs, anchors, groups, pages, versions, languages, products, dropdowns, items)
+  - Edit titles, icons, colors, descriptions, and visibility settings
+  - Manage OpenAPI/AsyncAPI specifications, keywords, and custom URLs
+  - Toggle default states, public access, and expansion behavior
+  - Real-time validation with error messages for invalid inputs

  - Fixed issue where response section would disappear when switching between endpoints with different response codes. The playground now properly resets to the first available response code when navigating to a new endpoint.
  - Fixed double "Authorization" header display in HTTP Basic authentication schemes. The authentication section now shows a cleaner interface with proper field labels and descriptions.

  - Fixed missing path parameters that were defined at the endpoint level in OpenAPI specs. Parameters specified above individual operations are now properly included in both the main page and playground.
  - Enhanced response example generation to include all required properties, even when examples only specify some fields. This ensures response examples are complete and accurate.

  ## Performance and build optimizations

  - MDX transpilation now happens at deployment time instead of on every page load in uncached NextJS serverless environments, improving time to first byte for uncached pages.
  - Content-based hashing prevents re-transpilation when MDX hasn't changed, reducing update workflow times by ~50% for customers with large page counts (deployments over 5 minutes should be roughly halved)
  - Preview deployment viewing in the dashboard is now faster with added database indexes and query parallelization in our backend
  - Reduced page size by eliminating duplicate `navigation` data in each page's `rsc` payload—performance gains most noticeable with high page counts or complex navigation structures
  - More aggressive prefetching enables instant page loads more frequently

  ## CI Checks

  Automatically lint your docs to find broken links, discover spelling and grammar issues, or enforce writing styles with your own Vale config. Learn more in our [docs](deploy/ci).

  ## .md support for LLMs

  All documentation pages are now automatically available as plain Markdown files—just append `.md` to the URL. This makes it easier for LLMs to ingest individual pages from your documentation.

-2. Select **My Profile** from the sidebar.
-3. Select **Authorize GitHub account**. This opens a new tab to the GitHub authorization page.
-
-<Info>
-  An admin for your GitHub organization may need to authorize your account depending on your organization settings.
-</Info>
-
-## Editing workflows
-
-Mintlify offers two workflows for creating and maintaining your documentation:
-
-<Card title="Code-based workflow" icon="terminal" horizontal href="#code-based-workflow">
-  For users who prefer working with existing tools in their local environment. Click to jump to this section.
-</Card>
-
-<Card title="Web editor workflow" icon="mouse-pointer-2" horizontal href="#web-editor-workflow">
-  For users who prefer a visual interface in their web browser. Click to jump to this section.
-</Card>
-
-## Code-based workflow
-
-The code-based workflow integrates with your existing development environment and Git repositories. This workflow is best for technical teams who want to manage documentation alongside code.
-
-### Install the CLI
-
-<Info>
-  **Prerequisite**: The CLI requires [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en) v20.17.0 or higher through v24. LTS versions are preferred.
-</Info>
-
-To work locally with your documentation, install the Command Line Interface (CLI), called [mint](https://www.npmjs.com/package/mint), by running this command in your terminal:
-
-<CodeGroup>
-
-```bash npm
+```bash
 npm i -g mint
 ```
 
+2. Create a new project:
 
-```bash pnpm
-pnpm add -g mint
-```
-
-</CodeGroup>
-
-### Create a new project
-
-Run `mint new` to create a new documentation project. See the [CLI installation guide](/installation#create-a-new-project) for details on the command and flags.
-
-### Edit the documentation
-
-After setting up your project, you can start editing your documentation files. For example, update the title of the introduction page:
-
-1. Navigate to your documentation repository.
-2. Open `index.mdx` and locate the top of the file:
-
-```mdx index.mdx
----
-title: "Introduction"
-description: "This is the introduction to the documentation"
----
-```
-
-3. Update the `title` field to `"Hello World"`.
-
-```mdx index.mdx {2}
----
-title: "Hello World"
-description: "This is the introduction to the documentation"
----
+```bash
+mint new
 ```
 
-### Preview the changes
+3. Edit `index.mdx` and change the title to "Hello World".
 
-To preview the changes locally, run the following command:
+4. Preview locally:
 
 ```bash
 mint dev
 ```
 
-Your preview is available at `localhost:3000`.

-
-### Push the changes
-
-When you are ready to publish your changes, push them to your repository.
-
-Mintlify automatically detects the changes, builds your documentation, and deploys the updates to your site. Monitor the deployment status in your GitHub repository commit history or the [dashboard](https://dashboard.mintlify.com).
-
-After the deployment completes, your latest update will be available at `<your-project-name>.mintlify.app`.

-
-## Web editor workflow
-
-The web editor workflow provides a what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) interface for creating and editing documentation. This workflow is best for people who want to work in their web browser without additional local development tools.
-
-### Access the web editor
-
-1. Log in to your [dashboard](https://dashboard.mintlify.com).
-2. Select **Editor** on the left sidebar.
-
-<Info>
-  If you have not installed the GitHub App, you will be prompted to install the app when you open the web editor.

-</Tip>
+Navigate to [Domain Setup](https://dashboard.mintlify.com/settings/deployment/custom-domain) and add your domain (e.g., `docs.yourcompany.com`).
 
-### Publish your changes
+Configure your DNS with a CNAME record:
 
-When you're satisfied with your edits, select the **Publish** button in the top-right corner. Your changes are immediately deployed to your documentation site.
-
-<Tip>
-  Use branches to preview and review changes through pull requests before deploying to your live site.
-</Tip>
-
-For more details about using the web editor, including using branches and pull requests to collaborate and preview changes, see our [web editor documentation](/editor).
-
-## Adding a custom domain
-
-While your `<your-project-name>.mintlify.app` subdomain works well for testing and development, most teams prefer using a custom domain for production documentation.
-
-To add a custom domain, navigate to the [Domain Setup](https://dashboard.mintlify.com/settings/deployment/custom-domain) page in your dashboard.

-  | CNAME       | docs (or subdomain) | cname.vercel-dns.com | 3600 |
-</Table>
-
-<Info>
-  DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate, though changes often complete much sooner.

-## Troubleshooting
-
-If you encounter issues during the setup process, check these common troubleshooting solutions:
-
-<AccordionGroup>
-  <Accordion title="Local preview not working">
-    Make sure you have Node.js v20.17.0 or higher installed and that you run the `mint dev` command from the directory containing your `docs.json` file.
-  </Accordion>
-  <Accordion title="Changes not reflecting on live site">
-    Deployment can take up to a few minutes. Check your GitHub Actions (for code-based workflow) or deployment logs in the Mintlify dashboard to ensure there are no build errors.
-  </Accordion>
-  <Accordion title="Custom domain not connecting">
-    Verify that your DNS records are set up correctly and allow sufficient time for DNS propagation (up to 48 hours). You can use tools like [DNSChecker](https://dnschecker.org) to verify your CNAME record.
