+  Incident Management Status Pages is in Limited Availability.
+{{< /callout >}}
+
+## Overview
+
+{{< img src="service_management/status_pages/shopist_status_page_example.png" alt="Example status page showing service components with their current status and recent incident updates" style="width:100%;" >}}
+
+Status Pages are part of Datadog's Incident Response suite, alongside On-Call and Incident Management. They let your team proactively communicate **real-time service availability**, **incidents**, and **maintenance updates** with customers or internal stakeholders through a shareable web page.
+
+Use Status Pages to:
+
+* Share the availability of critical systems and features
+* Communicate service disruptions clearly during incidents
+* Reduce inbound support volume with proactive updates
+
+## Configure permissions 
+
+There are three RBAC permissions that are relevant to Status Pages. Users with the Datadog Admin Role have all the necessary permissions.
+
+To create, update, or publish Status Pages, you must have `status_pages_settings_read`, `status_pages_settings_write`, and `status_pages_incident_write` RBAC permissions. For more information, see [Access Control][1].
+
+| Name | Description | Default Role |
+| :---- | :---- | :---- |
+| Status Pages Settings Read (`status_pages_settings_read`) | View the list of Status Pages, the settings of each Status Pages, their Incidents, and launched Private Status Pages. | Datadog Read Only Role |
+| Status Pages Settings Write (`status_pages_settings_write`) | Create and launch new Status Pages, and configure Status Pages settings. | Datadog Admin Role |
+| Status Pages Incident Write (`status_pages_incident_write`) | Publish and update Incidents. | Datadog Admin Role |
+
+## Create a status page
+
+1. In Datadog, navigate to [**Service Management > Status Pages**][2].  
+1. Click **Create Status Page** and follow the onboarding flow:
+
+   | Field             | Description |
+   | ----------------- | ----------- |
+   | **Visibility**    | Choose who can access the page: <br>- **Public** - Anyone with the link can view <br>- **Private** - Only authenticated users within your Datadog organization can view |
+   | **Page name**     | Displayed as the page header (if no logo is uploaded). <br>*Example: Acme Cloud Platform* |
+   | **Domain Prefix** | Used as your status page subdomain prefix. <br>*Example: shopist → shopist.status.datadoghq.com* <br>- Must be **globally unique** <br>- Lowercase, alphanumeric, and hyphenated <br>- May affect links if changed later |
+   | **Company logo or Favicon** *(optional)* | Upload a logo or favicon to personalize the appearance of your status page |
+1. (Optional) [Add components](#add-components) to show the status of individual services.
+1. Click **Save Settings**.
+   <div class="alert alert-info">A status page <strong>is not Live</strong> after you save your settings. To make the page available, <a href="#publish-your-status-page">publish your status page</a>.</div>
+
+## Add components
+
+{{< img src="/service_management/status_pages/status_page_components.png" alt="Status page component configuration with live preview panel" style="width:100%;" >}}
+
+Components are the building blocks of your status page. Each one represents a service or feature your users care about. Some examples of components include:
+- API Gateway  
+- Web Dashboard  
+- Database Cluster  
+- US Region Services
+
+You can add components to your status page either on intial setup or through the status page settings:
+
+1. From your status page, click **Settings** and select the **Components** tab.
+1. Create individual components or a group of related components. You can associate [incidents](#add-an-incident) with these components to reflect impact on your status page.  
+1. Select a visualization type:  
+   1. Bars and Uptime Percentage  
+   1. Bars Only  
+   1. Component Name Only  
+
+## Publish your status page
+
+After you save your status page settings, click **Launch Status Page** to make the page available at its URL.
+
+If you selected:
+- **Public**, the page is immediately accessible to all visitors.  
+- **Private**, access is limited to authenticated Datadog users in your organization.
+
+## Add an incident
+
+<div class="alert alert-warning">Incidents published on Status Pages are not the same as incidents declared within Datadog Incident Management. Incidents on Status Pages are carefully crafted messages posted to a public website to communicate system status, and may encompass multiple internal Incident Management incidents.</div>
+
+When an issue arises, you can communicate it clearly through your status page. 
+
+1. From a status page, click **Publish Incident** to open a "Publish Status Page Incident" modal and provide:
+   | Field | Description |
+   | ---- | ---- |
+   | **Title** | Short, clear description of the incident <br>*Example: Increased error rates on US region* |
+   | **Status** | Current state of the incident: <br>- Investigating <br>- Identified <br>- Monitoring <br>- Resolved |
+   | **Message** *(optional)* | Additional details for your users <br>*Examples: known cause, expected resolution time* |
+   | **Affected Components** | One or more components impacted by the incident |
+   | **Impact** | Level of impact per component: <br>- Operational <br>- Degraded Performance <br>- Partial Outage <br>- Major Outage |
+1. Click **Publish Incident**.
+
+{{< img src="/service_management/status_pages/publish_status_page_incident.png" alt="Screenshot of the Status Page Incident creation modal with fields filled out" style="width:70%;" >}}
+
+After an incident is published, the incident:
+- Appears on the Status Pages List under **Active Incidents**.
+- Updates the uptime bars for impacted components.
+- Is visible in the incident history timeline.
+
+You can post **updates** over time to keep users informed, and then mark the incident as **Resolved**.
+
+{{< img src="/service_management/status_pages/live_status_page_incident_history.mp4" alt="Video showing the incident history timeline on a live status page with published incidents and updates" video=true >}}
+
+## Set a custom domain
+
+To match your branding, you have the option to map your status page to a custom domain like `status.acme.com`.
+
+1. From your status page, click **Settings**.  
+1. Select **Custom Domain**.
+1. Follow the instructions to enter your domain and add DNS records.  
+1. Datadog automatically detects the DNS configuration and provisions an SSL certificate.  
+
+<div class="alert alert-warning">Custom domains require access to your DNS provider to add a CNAME or A record.</div>
+
+**Notes**:
+
+- DNS propagation may take several minutes.
+- You can revert to the default Datadog domain at any time.
+- Ensure DNS changes are made by someone with access to your domain registrar.
