You can now set up multiple passwords in the Dashboard, each mapped to a different role. Combined with role-based access control (RBAC), this lets you control which pages and sections different groups can access — without needing JWT or OAuth.

To get started, go to Settings > Password in the Dashboard.

When exporting a PDF, you now select which product and/or version to export. Previously, PDF export included your entire site. Now, you export one version of one product at a time.

You can now enable password protection for your documentation site directly from the Fern Dashboard.

Once enabled, visitors must enter a shared password before viewing any content. You can also reset or remove the password at any time from your site’s Settings page.

To get started, go to Settings > Password in the Dashboard.

You can now export your entire documentation site as a PDF directly from the Fern Dashboard.

Each export includes:

• A cover page with a customizable title and subtitle
• An auto-generated table of contents with clickable links
• All content pages
• Optional headers and footers with page number placeholders

You can now assign roles to teammates in your organization to control who can publish to production and manage organization settings. Choose from Admin, Editor, or Viewer roles, and optionally restrict access to specific docs sites.

You can now configure custom domains for your documentation site directly in the Fern Dashboard. The dashboard automatically displays the DNS records you need to add to your domain registrar based on your domain type.

The Fern Dashboard now includes a link checker that scans your published documentation for broken links, validating both internal links (links to other pages within your docs) and external links (links to external websites).

To check for broken links, open the Fern Dashboard, navigate to the Link Checker tab, and select the domain you want to scan. The checker displays any broken (404) or blocked (403) links found, along with the source page and link type.
