DOMAIN

Set up your own domain to create a seamless, branded experience for your users.

Map your documentation or API pages to a custom URL for a seamless, branded experience. Whitelisting lets you use a domain like msg91.com, enhancing trust and professionalism.

Why Use a Custom Domain?

• Build trust with your users

• Ensure a consistent experience

• Simplify access with branded, memorable URLs.

How to Whitelist a Domain

Follow this step-by-step guide to set up your custom domain:

1. Access the Domain Configuration

• Go to the collection you want to publish.

• Click on the collection name, and a sidebar will appear.

• Find and select the Domain option in the sidebar to start configuring your custom domain.

2. Enter Your Domain Name

Use the Domain Name field to specify your domain.
Example: msg91.com or api.viasocket.com.

3. Enter the Path

Use the Path field to define where your content will appear on the domain.
Example: /api, /help, or /faq.

4. Key Rules to Keep in Mind

Important

• You cannot configure a path without specifying a domain first.

• You cannot combine subdomains and paths, like api.viasocket.com (domain) + /doc (path).

5. Save and Publish

Once you’ve set the Domain Name and Path, don’t forget to click Save. This step is essential for your custom domain to start working.

REDIRECTIONS

In DocStar, you can easily set up redirections while renaming, restructuring, or updating URLs, maintaining a smooth navigation experience.

Key benefits of using redirections:
✔️ Prevents broken links
✔️ Helps maintain SEO rankings
✔️ smooth user experience

Setting Up Redirections in DocStar

To create a redirection, select the collection you want to publish and open the Redirections option from the menu. This will take you to the redirection management page, where you can configure and manage redirects effortlessly.

Adding a Redirection

1. Select a document from the sidebar—its path will auto-fill in the Redirection URL field.

2. Enter the slug and Click ADD

Redirections help maintain seamless navigation when restructuring or renaming documents. Once added, the redirection appears in the Redirections Table, where you can review and manage all existing redirections.

Managing Redirections

Every redirection is listed in a table containing three key details:

• Slug – The original URL.

• Redirection URL – The new destination.

• Action – A bin icon to remove the redirection if needed.

If a redirection is no longer required, simply click the bin icon to delete it. This restores the original URL, ensuring the document is accessed directly again.
