Once your CNAME record is successfully added within your DNS settings through your DNS provider, you can continue the domain connection process in GitBook.
After completing the second and third steps, the Configure your DNS screen should let you advance by clicking Ready: Go Live. This starts GitBook’s validation process.
During this phase, GitBook verifies your CNAME record and configures the SSL certificate for your domain, ensuring a secure connection.
When this process is finished, a success notification confirms that your site is live. Although this process generally proceeds without issues, occasional errors can occur.
Should you encounter any challenges, make a note of the error and refer to our troubleshooting guide. If troubleshooting doesn’t work or the issue isn’t addressed in our guide, don't hesitate to contact our support team for assistance.
