✨ Workflow

When adding new content or re-organizing existing content, please be sure to update the following:

1. Sidebar file - sidebars.js
2. Redirects file - netlify.toml

Updating the sidebar

To create a top-level, noncollapsible category like Getting Started, add the following to the docs array:

docs: [
  // ...
  {
    type: 'category',
    label: 'Tea Drinks',
    collapsible: false,
    className: 'category-not-collapsible',
    items: [
      // Add the IDs of your new category's pages here
      'tea-drinks/intro',
    ],
  }
]

To add a subcategory, add the category object to the items array:

docs: [
  // ...
  {
    type: 'category',
    label: 'Tea Drinks',
    collapsible: false,
    className: 'category-not-collapsible',
    items: [
      'tea-drinks/intro',
      // Add your new subcategory here
      {
        type: 'category',
        label: 'Hot Drinks',
        collapsed: true,
        items: [
          // Add the IDs of your new subcategory's pages here
          'tea-drinks/hot-drinks/intro',
        ],
      },
    ],
  }
]

To create a top-level, collapsible category like Access Control, add the following to the docs array:

docs: [
  // ...
  {
    type: 'category',
    label: 'Coffee Drinks',
    collapsed: true,
    items: [
      // Add the IDs of your new category's pages here
      'coffee-drinks/intro',
    ],
  }
]

Setting redirects

If you are changing the path of a page, you will need to add a redirect to the netlify.toml file. For example, if you are changing the path of docs/tea-drinks/intro.md to docs/tea-drinks/tea-drinks-intro.md, you will need to add the following to the netlify.toml file:

[[redirects]]
  from = "/docs/tea-drinks/intro"
  to = "/docs/tea-drinks/tea-drinks-intro"
  status = 301
  force = false

Running Scripts
