Take control of your documentation system

Mintlify is enhancing its documentation system to give technical writers more control over their workflows, focusing on features that streamline the publishing process and improve content management. Recent updates include the introduction of `.mintignore` files, which allow for precise control over which files are published, thus enabling teams to organize their repositories in a way that suits their needs without affecting public content. The platform now supports both `.md` and `.mdx` file formats, providing flexibility depending on the content's complexity. Additionally, Mintlify has improved the integration of OpenAPI specifications within documentation by allowing references through file paths or URLs, simplifying the management of API documentation. The introduction of relative imports enhances content reuse, allowing sections to be moved without breaking references, thereby facilitating easier restructuring of documentation. These improvements are designed to keep pace with faster software development cycles and are available across all Mintlify plans, underscoring the importance of robust documentation systems in maintaining quality and reliability.
