Collecting feedback and suggestions from users

Fern offers a variety of ways to track feedback and suggested improvements from users.

On-page feedback

By default, every Markdown page of your docs contains a feedback component at the bottom of the page:

The feedback can be sent to you in real-time via the method of your choosing (e.g. Slack, email).

To disable this feature on a page, set hide-feedback: true in the frontmatter of that page. You can read more about the frontmatter configuration here.

Edit this page

Allow users to open directly to the current page in your GitHub repository and suggest changes.

You can configure this feature for the entire site in the global configuration, or for an individual page in the frontmatter of that page.
