Project Settings

Configure your project's name, repository, domain, and build options from the dashboard.

Configure your project's display name, connected repository, branch, environment variables, custom domain, and danger zone options from the Settings page.

Accessing Settings

  1. Select your project from the dashboard
  2. Click Settings in the sidebar

The settings page is split into sections for display, repository, team, configuration, and notifications.

General Settings

Project Name

The display name shown in your dashboard. This doesn't affect your live documentation.

Subdomain

Your default URL at *.jamdesk.app. To change:

  1. Enter a new subdomain
  2. Click Save
  3. Wait for DNS propagation (usually instant)

Subdomain changes don't break existing links—the old URL redirects to the new one.

Repository Settings

Connected Repository

Shows your linked GitHub repository. To change repositories, you'll need to delete the project and create a new one.

Branch

The Git branch that triggers builds. Typically main or master.

Docs Path

For monorepo setups, specify the path to your docs.json:

packages/docs

Leave empty if docs.json is at the repository root.

Build Settings

Environment Variables

Set build-time variables for your documentation:

  1. Click Add Variable
  2. Enter the key and value
  3. Click Save

Variables are available during build and can be referenced in your docs.

Rebuild

Click Rebuild to trigger a fresh build without pushing to GitHub. Useful after changing settings.

Custom Domain

Add your own domain in the Domains section. See Custom Domains for setup instructions.

Danger Zone

Delete Project

Permanently deletes the project and all associated data:

  • Build history
  • Analytics data
  • Custom domain configuration

This action cannot be undone. Consider transferring ownership if team members need continued access.
