Docs Portal — Integration Guidelink

The New Instance Docs Portal product lets you publish a branded documentation site for your product. Create and manage portal content through the merchant dashboard.


Create and configure your portallink

  1. Log in to the merchant dashboard
  2. Navigate to Dashboard → Org → Docs Portal (/dashboard/org/[orgId]/docs-portal)
  3. Click Create Portal — give it a name and a slug (e.g. my-product-docs)
  4. Configure:
    • Theme: colours, logo, fonts — dark theme uses pure black + brand accent
    • Navigation: create sections and order pages (you control all structure)
    • SEO: meta title, description, sitemap

Create and publish contentlink

  • Click New Page in the sidebar to add a documentation page
  • Write in Markdown with full heading/code/table support
  • Heading anchors are auto-generated for TOC scroll-spy
  • Use the in-page search (⌘K palette) for instant full-text search across published pages
  • Publish individual pages or the entire portal at once

API Reference integrationlink

Import an OpenAPI 3.x spec to generate an interactive API reference:

  1. Go to the portal's API References tab
  2. Import a .yaml or .json OpenAPI file
  3. The reference is published as a separate page with a no-code request playground (masked proxy)
  4. Update the spec at any time — changes publish immediately

Custom domainlink

Configure a custom domain in the Domains tab:

  1. Add your domain (e.g. docs.yourcompany.com)
  2. Add a CNAME DNS record: docs.yourcompany.com → <generated-subdomain>.newinstance.cloud
  3. New Instance provisions a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate automatically (HTTPS enforced)
  4. Once DNS propagates and status shows ACTIVE, your portal is live on the custom domain

Note: DNS propagation can take up to 48 hours. You can preview the portal at the generated subdomain (<slug>.newinstance.cloud) immediately after creation.
