Full Example​

Here's what src/data/site.json looks like after editing:

{
  "title": "Nocturne",
  "tagline": "Documentation that feels premium. Built on Docusaurus.",
  "url": "https://nocturne.axcora.com",
  "organizationName": "axcora",
  "projectName": "nocturne",
  "favicon": "img/nocturne-favicon.webp",
  "image": "img/nocturne-og.webp",
  "copyrights": "Nocturne — Premium Docusaurus documentation system by Axcora Technology."
}

After Editing​

  1. Click Save in the CMS
  2. The site rebuilds automatically
  3. Refresh your browser to see the changes

Changes affect:

  • Browser tab title
  • SEO metadata
  • Social share preview
  • Footer copyright
  • Sitemap and RSS feeds

Editing Tips​

  • Set url first — before deploying
  • Update copyrights yearly
  • Keep title short — 1 to 3 words
  • Make tagline specific — not generic
  • Use 1200×630 for image — best for social shares

Troubleshooting​

Title doesn't change in browser tab​

  1. Check that you saved the file in the CMS
  2. Refresh with Ctrl + Shift + R
  3. Check the terminal for errors

Favicon doesn't appear​

  1. Check that the file exists in static/img/
  2. Check that the path is img/nocturne-favicon.webp — not /img/...
  3. Clear your browser cache

Social share image is missing​

  1. Check that the file exists in static/img/
  2. Check that the path is img/nocturne-og.webp — not /img/...
  3. Test with opengraph.xyz

URL is wrong​

The url field must match your production domain. Update it before deploying.
