Why does the Documentation or Usage page show empty states like "Your documentation is empty" or "No documentation runs yet"?

Last updated on Nov 10, 2025

Short Answer: Those messages appear when no documentation has been generated or when no runs exist for the selected repo/filters; connect repos and run documentation or remove filters.

Answer

PreRequisites

  1. Access to the CodeDoc workspace

  2. Connected repository (if expecting results)

Steps

  1. Open the Documentation and Usage tabs to confirm the empty-state message.
    You see either "Your documentation is empty" (Documentation) or "No documentation runs yet" (Usage).

  2. Check that repositories are connected to CodeDoc (Overview empty-state messaging indicates this) and that you have permission to run documentation.
    You confirm whether a connection or permission is missing.

  3. If no runs exist, click "Generate documentation" or set up an Automation to create runs.
    A documentation run is created and will appear in Usage when complete.

  4. If results still do not appear, clear any filters (Repository, Date, Search) on the Usage/Documentation pages and refresh the page.
    Any hidden results should appear if they match the cleared filter criteria.

Troubleshooting

  1. I ran documentation but still see the empty state.
    LikelyCause: Run may have targeted a different branch, is still processing, or failed.
    Action: Open Usage to confirm the run status and which branch/repository it targeted; rerun if necessary.

  2. Repositories should be present but are not listed.
    LikelyCause: Repository integration was not completed or required permissions not granted.
    Action: Reconnect the repository integration and ensure the app has permission to read the repository.

Note: Empty-state text provides the next step (e.g., connect repository or run documentation); follow that guidance first.
