# Web editor

> The classic Mintlify web editor for creating and publishing documentation in your browser. Deprecating on May 7, 2026 — migrate to the new editor.

<Warning>
  The classic web editor fully deprecates on May 7, 2026.

  The new editor is now available with real-time collaboration, automatic saving across devices, and improved syncing. See [Editor](/editor) for more information.
</Warning>

The web editor lets you create, edit, and publish documentation directly in your browser.

## Editor modes

The editor has two modes you can switch between using the toggle in the toolbar.

**Visual mode** shows a live preview of your content as you type. Press <kbd>/</kbd> to insert components and media, or format text.

**Markdown mode** gives you direct access to the MDX source of your pages. Use this for precise control over component properties and frontmatter.

## Publish changes

The branch you work on determines how the editor publishes your changes. If you have branch protection rules on your repository, the editor enforces them.

* **Deployment branch**: Publishing updates your live site immediately.
* **Feature branches**: Publishing creates a pull request for review before deploying to your live site.
