Welcome to CelestialDocs

CelestialDocs Hero

CelestialDocs is a modern documentation template built on Astro that transforms how you structure and present documentation. It’s designed for teams and individuals who need sophisticated navigation without complexity.

What Makes CelestialDocs Special?

This documentation system is built on three core innovations:

🎯 Hierarchical Navigation

A three-tier system that scales from simple to enterprise-grade structures: Entries (individual pages) organize into Groups (collections), which can contain Nested Groups for deep hierarchies, and any Group can become a Tab for complete navigation context switching.

🔄 Hybrid Generation

Tired of choosing between convenience and control? Use auto-generation to discover files automatically, manual curation to pin important pages first, or hybrid mode to get both. Your documentation grows without constant configuration updates.

📚 True Multi-Collection Support

Run multiple independent documentation systems from one codebase. Each collection has its own folder, routes, navigation structure, and configuration. Perfect for documenting multiple products or separating user guides from API references.
