How can someone view published documentation without signing in?

Last updated on Nov 10, 2025

Short Answer: If 'Document access' is set to 'Public', open the shared link — the published page shows the repo, summaries and files and does not require sign in.

Prerequisites

  1. The repository’s 'Document access' must be set to 'Public' by an Owner/Admin

  2. You have the public link or the published URL

Steps

  1. Open the published URL (shared link) in a browser.
    A read-only view of the repository documentation loads with header showing 'Sign In' and 'Start For Free'.

  2. Browse summaries, modules, tags and file lists (click rows to open available file pages).
    You can read documentation pages without logging in if the repo is public.

Troubleshooting

  1. Public link requires sign in or shows limited content.
    LikelyCause: Repository is not set to 'Public' or you opened an internal link.
    Action: Request the Owner to set 'Document access' to 'Public' or to send the correct public link.

Note: Published view is read-only; the header shows sign-in and account prompts but content is accessible if public.
