## Astro hints and tips

### Finding pages to edit

The pages are in the exact page shown on the website, so you can easily translate them. For example:

```
https://octopus.com/docs/infrastructure/deployment-targets/tentacle
```

Can be found in the exact same path within `src/pages/`

```
\docs\src\pages\docs\infrastructure\deployment-targets\tentacle
```

The file is either in the `tentacle` folder, and named `index.md(x)`, or will be in the parent `deployment-targets` folder and named `tentacle.md`.

The only exception are include files, which are noted below.

### Redirects

No page should ever be deleted! When a page moves or is retired, it should be changed into a redirect file. The redirect ensures users with old links still land on a useful page.

The below shows the complete contents of a redirect page that sends users from:

```
/docs/administration/authentication/authentication-providers/azure-ad-authentication
```

To the new location:

```
/docs/security/authentication/azure-ad-authentication
```

```
---
layout: src/layouts/Redirect.astro
title: Redirect
redirect: https://octopus.com/docs/security/authentication/azure-ad-authentication
pubDate: 2023-01-01
navSearch: false
navSitemap: false
navMenu: false
---
```

Having the file kept in place helps future authors as they can easily see where the content has moved. It also prevents a new content item being added that can’t be accessed due to redirects being in place.

Search engines are happy to process meta redirects, just like DNS redirects.

### Include files

Include files let you re-use a chunk of content across many pages. When the information in the shared file changes, all the pages that use it get the update. This can be better than finding all references to a concept, but the trade off is it is more complex to reason.

### Shared content

Shared content is placed in `/src/shared-content/`

You can organize the content in folders within the shared content folder.

#### Referencing shared content

Shared content can be referenced from mdx files. If you have a markdown file and want to reference shared content, follow these steps.

Change the file extension from `.md` to `.mdx`

After the front matter ends with `---` you can import the content:

```javascript
import DisableDefaultSpace from 'src/shared-content/administration/disable-default-space.include.md'
```

You can then place the content wherever it needs to be shown:

```html
<DisableDefaultSpace />
```

### MDX file differences

When you convert a file from Markdown to MDX, you may encounter some common errors.

#### Headings

The integration for headings allows custom ids to be specified:

```markdown
## Switching between spaces {#switching-between-spaces}
```

Within an MDX file, this looks like a code block and will error. Escape the statement with a `\` character:

```markdown
## Switching between spaces \{#switching-between-spaces}
```
