Base is in beta and subject to change.
Verify the pages in your base to show your team which pages are current. Add properties, such as an owner, to record who is responsible for a page and other details about it. Each page’s frontmatter stores its verification status and properties. AI tools that read your base through the MCP server or your Git repository see the verification status and other properties along with the page content. Verification and properties are only available for pages in a base project. They aren’t available in docs projects.

Verification statuses

​
Verify a page

To verify a teamspace page or change its status, you must have the editor or admin role. To verify a private page, you must have the Editor or Full Access role on the page. Anyone who can open a page can see its status.
  1. Open the page in the editor.
  2. Hover above the page title to display the Add verification button.
  3. Click Add verification.
  4. Choose how long the verification lasts: For 90 days, For 30 days, For 7 days, Indefinitely, or Pick a date.
The page’s verification status appears in the top bar. Click the status to see who last verified the page or marked it outdated.

​
Change a page’s status

Click the verification status in the top bar to change its status.
  • To change when the verification ends, use the Expiration menu to select a new date.
  • To flag a verified page as out of date, click Mark Outdated.
  • To verify an outdated or expired page again, choose how long the new verification lasts.
  • To return the page to Not verified, click Remove verification.

​
Verification in your inbox

When a teammate verifies a page, marks it outdated, or removes its verification, or when a page’s verification expires, Mintlify sends a notification to the inbox of the page’s owner and the person who last verified the page if the page is marked outdated, has its verification removed, or expires. You don’t receive notifications for your own changes.

​
Add properties

A page can have an owner and any number of custom properties.
  • Owner: The teammate responsible for the page. The owner gets inbox notifications when the page’s verification status changes.
  • Custom properties: Fields you name yourself, such as a launch date or a team. Choose from these types: Text, Number, Date, Person, Select, Multi-select, URL, and Checkbox.
To add a property, you must have the editor or admin role. To add properties to a private page, you must have the Editor or Full Access role on the page. Anyone who can open a page can see its properties.
  1. Open the page in the editor.
  2. Hover above the page title to display the Page properties menu.
  3. To add an owner, select Owner and choose a teammate.
  4. To add a custom property, select New property and choose a type.
Properties with a value appear below the page title. You can also view and add properties in the Properties section of the Page settings panel.

​
Verification and properties in Git

The editor writes a page’s verification status to the verification frontmatter key, and its owner and properties to the metadata key.
Example verification frontmatter
To change a page’s status by editing the file, set verification.status to verified, outdated, or not_verified. For a verified page, set expiresAt to when the verification ends as an ISO 8601 date and time. If you omit expiresAt, the page remains verified indefinitely. If you change a page’s status by editing the file, the editor doesn’t show who verified the page and no one receives an inbox notification. The metadata key refers to teammates by their Mintlify user IDs. Edit owners and properties in the editor.
