Quickstart
Edit MDX files, add new pages to your navigation, customize colors and branding in docs.json, and preview locally with the Jamdesk CLI.
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
Add a new .mdx file anywhere in your project, for example guides/deployment.mdx.
Open docs.json and add the page path to the navigation section:
{
"group": "Guides",
"pages": ["guides/deployment"]
}Commit and push. Your site will rebuild automatically.
Customize your site
Everything is configured in docs.json:
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
name | Site name shown in the header |
colors | Primary, light, and dark accent colors |
logo | Light and dark mode logo images |
theme | Visual theme (jam, nebula, or pulsar) |
navigation | Sidebar tabs, groups, and page order |
navbar | Top navigation links and buttons |
See the full configuration reference at jamdesk.com/docs.
