What is a custom domain?
Setting up a custom domain allows you to point the viewer version of your styleguide to a bespoke/vanity URL that uses your domain rather than zeroheight.
A typical zeroheight domain will look similar to this: https://zeroheight.com/12345/v/latest/p/12344aa-name-of-styleguide
A custom domain name could be design.yourcompany.com. It could even be the name of your design system to help with building a community around your design system.
Request a custom domain
To have a custom domain, you must secure your own domain before requesting zeroheight to connect it to your styleguide.
1) Open your styleguide
2) Click ... in the top right and choose Styleguide settings
3) In the Custom domain tab, enter the custom domain you would like to use and click Request
4) We will email you with instructions on setting up the required DNS record updates.
5) Type in your custom domain (i.e., designsystemhelp.zeroheight.com) into your browser. You should see either the zeroheight login screen or an SSL error page.
6) Reply to the email letting us know when you've made the changes.
7) We will verify the settings and set up your domain. We will set up the SSL certificates for you using LetsEncrypt.org
👉 Note: It may take a few days for these changes to take effect.
Update links
You don't need to update links when you add a custom domain. Existing links within your styleguide will redirect correctly and you should see your custom domain in the URL bar.
Change custom domain title tag
The title tag for your styleguide is your styleguide name. You change it in the cover page settings.
1) Enable Display text
2) Type in the styleguide name
3) Toggle the Display text off again
4) It should update the tag title with that name
