# Monorepo setup

> Configure the documentation path and content directory in a monorepo project so Mintlify deploys only from your designated docs folder.

Configure Mintlify to deploy documentation from a specific directory within a monorepo. This setup lets you maintain documentation alongside your code in repositories that contain multiple projects or services.

:::callout{intent="note"}
A monorepo project uses a single repository with a subdirectory of docs. To combine content from more than one repository into one site, see [Multi-repository projects](/guides/manage-your-site-deploy-multi-repo).
:::

A typical monorepo structure might look like this:

```text theme={null}
your-repo/
├── apps/
│   ├── web/
│   └── api/
├── docs/
│   ├── docs.json
│   └── quickstart.mdx
└── package.json
```

In this example, you'd set your documentation path to `/docs`.

## Prerequisites

- Admin access to your Mintlify project.
- Documentation files organized in a dedicated directory within your monorepo.
- A valid `docs.json` in your documentation directory.

## Configure monorepo deployment

::::step{title="Set your documentation path"}
1. Enable the **docs.json is in a subdirectory** toggle.
2. Enter the relative path to your docs directory. For example, if your docs are in the `docs` directory, enter `/docs`.

:::callout{intent="note"}
Do not include a trailing slash in the path.

3. Click **Save changes**. Saving triggers a new deployment from the configured path.
