Adaptive content

Deliver a tailored documentation experience based on who's reading.

This feature is still under development and coming soon to the Ultimate site plan.

Please sign up for the waitlist at https://www.gitbook.com/#alpha-waitlist

When a user visits your site, you may already know things about them - who they are, which plan they're subscribed to, which features they have access to.

Adaptive content helps to build a tailored documentation experience based on who is reading.

Adaptive content is slightly different from Visitor Authentication, although they can work together. While Visitor Authentication allows you to protect your docs through a login, adaptive content customizes published material based on various authentication methods—including Visitor Authentication or those from your own app.

Enable adaptive content on a page, variant, or section.

How it works

Adaptive content works in 1 of 2 ways:

  1. Passing data from your app to GitBook

  2. Passing data from Visitor Authentication

When a user visits your sites, we call the data they bring with them their "claims"—basically data that helps to identify a user. These claims are controllable by you - the site author - and can be used through the GitBook editor to show or hide different pages, variants, and sections in your docs.

Head to Enabling adaptive content to start setting up adaptive content for your site.
