Site settings

Customize and edit settings across your published site

Update the settings for your published documentation.

General

Site title

Change the name of your site. If you don't have a custom logo, this is the name that your site visitors will see.

Analytics cookie

If you want to use GitBook’s site analytics, your site will use cookies to identify returning visitors and gather the data needed to view your analytics. You can choose to disable these cookies, but it will prevent you from using site analytics. The cookies notice appears when your site has analytics enabled through an integration, especially Google Analytics.

To remove the notice, open Site settings → Integrations in the top-right. Then disable or remove Google Analytics.

Disabling these cookies also turns off site analytics for that site.

Unpublish site

Unpublish your site, but keep its settings and customizations. You can publish your site again at any time.

Delete site

Unpublish and remove your site from the Docs site section in the GitBook app.

Note: Deleting a site is a permanent action and cannot be undone. Any settings and customizations will be lost, but your content will remain in its space.

Access

Manage who can access and administer your docs site.

Open Access and click Manage permissions. You can also use Share from the site’s Overview page.

Site permissions are available on all plans.

By default, new sites derive permissions from their linked spaces, until you update permissions from the site permissions modal.

Site permissions can also affect the permissions of linked spaces that use Inherited mode. In this case, each inherited space receives the highest permission level granted by the organization, any parent collection, and any site that includes it.
