Juan Pablo FloresandCopilot 8f8c4561a6 Docs upgrade (#6907)
* style(docs): update background color scheme to neutral tones

Update documentation background colors from purple-tinted theme to neutral gray tones. Changed light mode from lavender (#F0E6FF) to off-white (#fafaf9) and dark mode from pure black (#000000) to dark gray (#0f0f0f) for improved visual consistency.

* refactor(docs): remove gradient decoration from theme config

Remove the "decoration": "gradient" property from the documentation
theme configuration. This simplifies the theme settings by removing
the gradient decoration option from the color configuration object.

* docs: change documentation font family to Geist Mono

Replace Roboto with Geist Mono as the default font family in the documentation configuration. This updates the visual styling of the documentation to use a monospace font, which may improve readability for code-heavy content.

* docs: update branding and restructure navigation

- Replace robot panel logos with new Cline brand logos
- Add icons to navbar links (Docs, GitHub, Discord)
- Restructure navigation from groups to tabs format
- Add icons to navigation items for improved UX
- Include new Docs link in navbar with book icon

This update modernizes the documentation appearance and improves navigation hierarchy for better user experience.

* docs: restructure navigation with hierarchical groups and pages

Restructured documentation navigation from flat menu to organized groups:
- Removed redundant "Docs" link from navbar
- Migrated from "menu" to "groups/pages" structure
- Added comprehensive page organization with nested groups:
  * Introduction, Getting Started, Features
  * Prompting Skills, Cline's Tools, Enterprise Solutions
  * MCP Servers, Provider Configuration
- Organized features into logical subgroups (@ Mentions, Commands,
  Customization, Slash Commands)
- Improved documentation discoverability and hierarchy

This change provides better content organization and easier navigation
for users exploring different aspects of Cline documentation.

* docs: remove contextual options from documentation config

Remove the contextual configuration section containing the "copy" option from docs.json. This simplifies the documentation configuration by removing unused contextual menu options.

* docs(multiroot): improve workspace documentation with limitations and technical details

- Add important note about experimental limitations affecting Cline rules and checkpoints
- Add "How it works" section explaining automatic workspace detection and tracking
- Reorganize technical behavior section with detailed subsections for workspace detection, path resolution, and command execution
- Document workspace hint syntax for explicit file references (@workspaceName:path)
- Standardize heading capitalization to sentence case for consistency
- Improve overall content organization and clarity for better user understanding

This update provides users with clearer information about the multiroot feature's current state, its limitations, and how to effectively use workspace hints when working with multiple project folders.

* docs: restructure overview page with enhanced visual layout

- Convert plain markdown sections to CardGroup and Card components with icons
- Add tabbed interface for Plan & Act Mode explanation
- Update description from "development assistant" to "coding agent"
- Reorganize content for improved readability and visual hierarchy
- Enhance feature presentations with icon-based cards

Improves user experience by transforming the overview documentation into a more visually appealing and scannable format using modern documentation components.

* docs: improve installation guide with enhanced structure and UX

Restructure the Cline installation documentation to improve readability and user experience:

- Add prominent note highlighting 2-minute installation time
- Convert prerequisites into visual card components for better clarity
- Transform installation steps into structured Step components for easier following
- Add manual installation instructions for JetBrains IDEs
- Include feature compatibility accordion for JetBrains users
- Enhance visual hierarchy with improved component usage (CardGroup, Steps, Accordion)
- Simplify language and improve descriptions throughout

This makes the installation process clearer for new users and reduces friction during onboarding.

* style(docs): remove text opacity reduction for better readability

* docs: refactor model selection guide with visual step-by-step instructions

- Replace tab-based layout with linear step-by-step flow
- Add screenshots for each configuration step (config, provider, API, model)
- Reorganize content structure for improved clarity and user experience
- Add quickstart options and streamlined provider recommendations
- Improve navigation with visual aids to help users configure Cline faster

* docs: add installation screenshots and context management guide

* docs: flatten provider config structure in documentation

Remove the "Alternative Providers" grouping and move all provider configuration pages (OpenRouter, Cerebras, DeepSeek, Groq, xAI Grok, Mistral AI, Doubao, Fireworks, and ZAI) to the main provider configuration list. This simplifies the documentation navigation by treating all providers equally rather than categorizing some as alternatives.

* docs: restructure context management docs and improve content clarity

**Changes:**
- Reorganized documentation structure by moving context management from
  `/best-practices` to `/prompting` section for better categorization
- Added URL redirect to maintain backward compatibility for old links
- Updated navigation references in welcome page to point to new location
- Improved readability of context management explanations with more
  narrative, conversational prose
- Enhanced context window documentation by adding cache tokens indicator
  and using emoji-based formatting for better visual clarity
- Streamlined Cline Memory Bank setup instructions from 4 to 3 steps
- Updated context bar screenshot to use newer image asset

**Why:**
Better documentation organization and improved user experience through
clearer explanations of how Cline builds and manages context during tasks.

* docs(context-management): convert Quick Reference to Info component

Replace blockquote formatting with Info component for the Quick Reference
section in the context management documentation. This improves visual
presentation and maintains consistency with documentation standards.

Also removes trailing whitespace at the end of the file for cleaner
formatting.

* docs: add Cline Enterprise overview and restructure enterprise section

- Add comprehensive enterprise overview documentation covering security,
  governance, observability, and developer experience features
- Rename "Enterprise & Security" navigation group to "Enterprise"
- Consolidate enterprise documentation by replacing 4 pages with 2:
  new overview page and security concerns
- Document BYOI (Bring Your Own Inference), SSO authentication, and
  role-based access control capabilities

This restructuring provides a clearer entry point for enterprise users
and consolidates previously scattered enterprise information into a
cohesive overview document.

* docs(enterprise): streamline enterprise overview and update font

- Change documentation font from Geist Mono to Geist Sans
- Add enterprise website link card for detailed information
- Remove Developer Experience, Proven at Scale, and Pricing sections
- Consolidate Flexible Inference section content
- Simplify enterprise overview to focus on core capabilities

These changes reduce redundancy by directing users to the enterprise
website for pricing and detailed features while keeping the docs
focused on technical implementation and core capabilities.

description: "Enterprise security, governance, and observability for the coding agent 3 million developers trust"
---
Cline Enterprise brings centralized governance to the same open-source architecture that millions of developers already use. Your code stays in your environment, you use your own inference at your negotiated rates, and you get the security and observability capabilities that platform teams need for org-wide deployment.
<Card title="Learn More About Enterprise" icon="building" href="https://cline.bot/enterprise">
Visit our website for detailed information about enterprise features, pricing, and deployment options.
</Card>
## What You Get
It delivers five core capabilities that platform teams need for production deployment. Each addresses a specific requirement for scaling AI coding across your organization.
### Security by Design
Your code never leaves your environment. Cline processes everything locally - no uploads, no indexing, no training on your data.
<CardGroup cols={2}>
<Card title="Client-side execution" icon="computer">
All processing happens within your environment
</Card>
<Card title="No data exfiltration" icon="shield-check">
Code and context never transmitted externally
</Card>
<Card title="No codebase indexing" icon="database">
Repositories are never indexed or cached
</Card>
<Card title="No model training" icon="ban">
Your code and prompts aren't used for training
</Card>
</CardGroup>
### Bring Your Own Inference
Use your existing cloud contracts and negotiated rates. Most AI tools force you to buy inference through them with markup. Cline connects directly to your providers.
Connect to any inference provider:
- AWS Bedrock
- Google Vertex AI
- Azure OpenAI
- Anthropic direct
- OpenAI direct
- Cerebras
- Any OpenAI-compatible endpoint
Switch models instantly as new ones release. Use Claude Sonnet 4.5 as your daily driver, GPT-5 for complex refactoring, open-source models for simple tasks. Your existing cloud credits and startup program contracts now cover AI coding. We handle the agent loop. You handle the inference. No markup, no vendor lock-in.
### Governance at Scale
Platform teams need central control when thousands of developers use AI. Individual API keys scattered across laptops create security risks and cost overruns.
Enterprise governance provides:
- **SSO authentication**: Corporate credentials instead of personal API keys
- **Role-based access control**: Fine-grained permissions per team and project
- **Model and tool controls**: Govern which models and tools each team accesses
- **Remote configuration**: Manage settings for all developers from one dashboard
- **Full audit logging**: Every AI interaction tracked with detailed logs
Configure once, deploy everywhere. Developers work how they prefer while you maintain control.
### Complete Observability
Export logs to your existing observability stack. Track usage, costs, and performance across all teams.
- **OpenTelemetry export**: Direct integration with Datadog, Grafana, Splunk
- **Real-time analytics**: Track adoption, performance, and patterns
- **Cost breakdown**: See exactly what each team spends on which models
- **JSON output**: Build custom dashboards in your existing tools
The same observability standards you require for production systems.
## Deployment
Cline Enterprise connects securely to your infrastructure. Deploy in cloud environments, on-premises, or air-gapped networks. Configure to work with your existing security policies and compliance requirements.
Rolling out to your organization:
1. Configure Cline Core to connect to your infrastructure
2. Set SSO, RBAC, and governance policies
3. Deploy to developers via your existing software distribution
4. Monitor usage through your observability tools
## Next Steps
- Review [security architecture](/enterprise-solutions/security-concerns)
- Configure [cloud provider setup](/provider-config/aws-bedrock/api-key) (AWS Bedrock, Vertex AI, Azure)
- Set up [MCP servers](/mcp/mcp-overview) for custom tooling
- Add [custom instructions](/features/cline-rules) for your codebase
Schedule a walkthrough to see how Cline Enterprise fits your infrastructure. We'll work with your security and compliance requirements to deploy in your environment.
