Docs Portal
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
- Log in to the merchant dashboard
- Navigate to Dashboard → Org → Docs Portal (
/dashboard/org/[orgId]/docs-portal) - Click Create Portal — give it a name and a slug (e.g.
my-product-docs) - 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:
- Go to the portal's API References tab
- Import a
.yamlor.jsonOpenAPI file - The reference is published as a separate page with a no-code request playground (masked proxy)
- Update the spec at any time — changes publish immediately
Custom domainlink
Configure a custom domain in the Domains tab:
- Add your domain (e.g.
docs.yourcompany.com) - Add a CNAME DNS record:
docs.yourcompany.com → <generated-subdomain>.newinstance.cloud - New Instance provisions a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate automatically (HTTPS enforced)
- 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.
