1 July: New localizations, docs site improvements and more
Support for Brazilian Portuguese and German, a new way to manage and install integrations, and a whole bunch of docs site improvements
Some of the updates below apply only to our new docs sites flow for publishing documentation. We’re slowly rolling out sites to existing users, and if you don’t see them in your GitBook app yet, stay tuned — they’ll appear for you soon.
✨ New
We’ve added Brazilian Portuguese and German localization support to GitBook, so you can now use the GitBook app in more languages. Head to your site's customization settings to update the locale for your docs. Huge thanks to Rodrigo Castro and David Burghoff for their hard work on these translations — and their contributions to our open source repository.
Integrations now live in their own page, accessible through the sidebar. You can view them by category, see which integrations are enabled for specific spaces, and install new integrations — all from the same screen.
We made a bunch of smaller improvements to the docs sites dashboard, site settings, and the publishing flow in general. And we’re not done! You’ll see more in the coming weeks as we make it the best it can be.
➕ Improved
We’ve made some big improvements to the way you set up custom domains for published content. You won’t see an error if you have a custom domain set up and try to edit it, and the button to edit it now takes you right to the DNS settings — and it’s contextual, based on the state of your domain. We’ve also improved the alerts and the general setup flow to be clearer about what you need to do.
We’ve changed a lot of the wording in the publishing flow for docs sites to make it clearer when your content will or will not be indexed by search engines, and when share links are active or inactive.
You’ll also notice improved wording when GitBook AI cannot find an answer to your query, and it’ll suggest some related spaces based on your question.
When you open the Share modal from a space, you can now click Publishing to access your publishing options using docs sites.
We’ve improved our toasts — you can now close them, and they’ll stack behind each other to prevent them taking up too much of your screen if you have multiple triggering at the same time.
🔧 Fixed
Fixed an issue that stopped the Rollback button working properly when browsing a space’s history.
Fixed an issue that prevented SAML providers being added or updated.
Fixed an issue where collections in the sidebar could appear highlighted after being opened or closed.
Fixed some incorrectly-implemented prefers-reduced-motion checks, and added more checks so those users wont see animations in the UI.
Fixed a bug that meant pressing Esc when a modal was open wouldn’t close it.
Fixed an issue that stopped a custom domain from displaying immediately after you set it up. It’ll now update in the GitBook UI right away.
We’re constantly working on improving the way you and your team work in GitBook, and value your input on features, bugs, and more. Make sure you head to our official GitBook community to join the discussion.
