This month we focused on shipping features that help docs teams solve their biggest challenge: keeping documentation in sync with the product.
You can now connect Slack, GitHub, or Linear to your GitBook site and tag @gitbook directly in threads, PRs, and tickets.
There are two ways to use it:
In support-mode, @gitbook answers questions from your docs so you can get verified answers in real time.
In collaboration-mode, @gitbook reads the context of the thread and creates a change request ready for you to review in GitBook with updates to your docs.
The change request links back to where it came from, which is helpful when you're trying to trace why something was changed.
Available on the Ultimate plan. Go to Settings > Channels to set it up.
Search just got a major upgrade and now returns results immediately from a local index, then updates as remote results come in. In practice, it feels instant.
You can now collapse page groups in the sidebar. Click the chevron next to any group title in the sidebar and all the pages will collapse underneath it.
If your docs have grown over time and the sidebar is getting long, this update really helps.
Now it’s easier to manage tags on GitBook. Click + at the top of any page to add a tag. Hover the page title for the full menu — search, create, add, or remove. And if your page already has tags, you can click one to see the option to remove it or view it in the Library.
