From 659f237737f79025e76f0da34929dd6a8004d5da Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ethan <39577870+ethanndickson@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Fri, 26 Sep 2025 14:06:59 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] docs: add next steps to coder desktop guide (#19975) I ended up on the Coder Desktop docs page and thought half of it had disappeared, though it was actually tucked away behind a second page. This PR adds a next steps section to the first page that links there, as it seems very easy to miss right now. --- docs/manifest.json | 2 +- docs/user-guides/desktop/index.md | 14 ++++++-------- 2 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/manifest.json b/docs/manifest.json index 98e536df5c..c1faaa4af0 100644 --- a/docs/manifest.json +++ b/docs/manifest.json @@ -286,7 +286,7 @@ "icon_path": "./images/icons/computer-code.svg", "children": [ { - "title": "Coder Desktop connect and sync", + "title": "Coder Desktop Connect and Sync", "description": "Use Coder Desktop to manage your workspace code and files locally", "path": "./user-guides/desktop/desktop-connect-sync.md" } diff --git a/docs/user-guides/desktop/index.md b/docs/user-guides/desktop/index.md index 92c7edd198..958324170c 100644 --- a/docs/user-guides/desktop/index.md +++ b/docs/user-guides/desktop/index.md @@ -44,8 +44,8 @@ brew install --cask coder/coder/coder-desktop #### Manual Installation 1.
