Preview documentation from pull requests

Your project can be configured to build and host documentation for every new pull request. Previewing changes during review makes it easier to catch formatting and display issues before they go live.

Features

Build on pull request events

We create and build a new version when a pull request is opened, and rebuild the version whenever a new commit is pushed.

Build status report

Your project’s pull request build status will show as one of your pull request’s checks. This status will update as the build is running, and will show a success or failure status when the build completes.

GitHub build status reporting for pull requests.

Warning banner

A warning banner is shown at the top of documentation pages to let readers know that this version isn’t the main version for the project.

Note

Warning banners are available only for Sphinx projects.
