Summary

A live example of Fern's multi-source documentation at multi-source.docs.buildwithfern.com. Six independent fern/ projects publish to the same domain with unique sub-paths, demonstrating:

  • Multi-source publishing — multi-source: true on each instance
  • Global theme — plantstore-theme provides shared colors (light tan/forest green) and CSS
  • Nested sub-children — /seeds hub with /seeds/sunflower and /seeds/tomato children
  • Consistent branding — all sites show [leaf icon] Multi-Source Docs in the header
  • Per-site navbar — each site has its own navigation links
  • Hierarchical search — Algolia results scoped by sub-path
  • Educational content — pages explain multi-source features (not placeholder content)

Live sites

Sub-path Content
/ Overview of all multi-source features
/seeds Nested sub-children hub
/seeds/sunflower Minimal docs.yml config example
/seeds/tomato Global theme upload workflow
/greenhouses Unified theming with color palette
/nursery Independent publishing and CI/CD

Seeds hub (consistent "Multi-Source Docs" header):

Sunflower sub-site (docs.yml showcase):

Greenhouses (unified theming):
greenhouses

Review & Testing Checklist for Human

  • Visit each live site and verify header says "Multi-Source Docs" everywhere
  • Try the search bar from different sub-paths to verify hierarchical scoping
  • Click navbar links on each sub-site to verify navigation

Notes

All 18 CI checks pass. Header text is now consistently "Multi-Source Docs" across all six sub-sites instead of showing individual team names.
