The Settings section in CandyDocs allows you to fully customize your documentation portal with your brand identity, domain configuration, and theme preferences.
This guide walks you through how to configure brand name, subdomain, custom domain, theme colors, logos, and favicon from the Admin Dashboard.
Accessing Settings
Log in to your Admin Dashboard.
From the left sidebar, click Settings.
Open the Preferences tab.
You will see all branding and customization options in one place.
Brand Name & Website URL
At the top of the page, you can configure:
Brand Name – Your product or company name displayed across your documentation portal.
Website URL – Your main website link.
This ensures consistent branding across your public documentation pages.
Subdomain Setup
CandyDocs provides a default subdomain in the format:
yourbrand.candydocs.com
To configure:
Enter your preferred subdomain name.
Save preferences.
This will become your public landing page if no custom domain is configured.
Custom Domain Configuration
You can connect your own domain such as:
docs.yourproduct.com
To set up a custom domain:
Enter your custom domain name.
Configure DNS settings as instructed (CNAME or required record).
Save preferences.
Once verified, your custom domain will become the primary public documentation URL.
This improves SEO authority and brand consistency.

This sets the default appearance of your documentation portal for users.
