Configuration

Docuo has a unique take on configurations. We encourage you to congregate information about your site into one place. We guard the fields of this file and facilitate making this data object accessible across your site.

Keeping a well-maintained docuo.config.json helps you, your collaborators, and your open source contributors to be able to focus on documentation while still being able to customize the site.
