Set a custom domain
Learn how to set a custom domain for your GitBook organization or Docs sites
By default, your sites are accessible on a [subdomain].gitbook.io

You can customize this by setting a custom domain, meaning your audience can access your documentation on a chosen domain.
Permissions
Organization-level domains can be set by users with admin rights. Site domains can be set by users with creator or admin rights.
