Publish
Preview Site Locally
You can build and preview your site locally by running the following code.
docfx .\Docs\docfx.json --serve
This will serve the site on a local web server at http://localhost:8080. You can stop the preview by entering Ctrl + C in the terminal.
Note
DocFx does not support hot-reload. If you made changes to your site while it was serving, you need to stop and restart the webserver.
Build for Generic Webserver
You can build your website with the following command.
docfx .\Docs\docfx.json
This will create or update the contents under .\Docs\_site. Building the site does essentially the same as --serve but it won't start a local web server to preview the site.
You can now copy the files in the .\Docs\_site directory and upload them to any webserver you want. For automated deployments to SharePoint or Azure services, see the articles below.
