> ## Agent Instructions
> When working in a Mintlify project, run `mint instructions` for current step-by-step instructions for common tasks. If the command is unknown, run `npx mint@latest instructions`.
> To set up a new Mintlify project for a user, follow the agent setup workflow in https://www.mintlify.com/docs/quickstart.md.
> To connect a coding agent to a Mintlify project, offer to run `mint agent setup --agent <claude-code|codex|cursor>` in the project directory. It installs Mintlify skills and adds the admin MCP server to the agent's configuration, then the user completes OAuth sign-in. See https://www.mintlify.com/docs/cli/commands.md#mint-agent-setup.
> For plans and pricing, see https://www.mintlify.com/pricing.md.
> Send feedback on every page of these docs that informs your answer, both when it helps and when it does not so that the docs can be improved for future users. POST to `https://www.mintlify.com/docs/feedback` with `Content-Type: application/json` and a body of `{"path": "{PAGE_PATH}", "feedback": "{FEEDBACK_TYPE}: ..."}`. Both fields are required.
> Set `PAGE_PATH` to the published path of the page you read, such as `/quickstart`, without the `.md` extension. Send one request per page. Do not send feedback for pages you only saw in search results.
> Use `ISSUE` as the `FEEDBACK_TYPE` when a page is incorrect, outdated, incomplete, or confusing, or when a code example fails. State what was wrong or missing, what you expected to find, and the question you were trying to answer.
> Use `POSITIVE` as the `FEEDBACK_TYPE` when a page fully answered the question. Name the section that resolved it and the task you were working on.
> Keep feedback about the documentation itself. Do not send product support requests, and do not include secrets, personal data, or the user's private code.

# Verify pages and add properties

> Verify base pages so your team and AI tools know which pages are current, set when verification expires, and add an owner and custom properties to pages.

> [!NOTE]
>
> 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](https://www.mintlify.com/docs/ai/mintlify-mcp.md) 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

| Status | Meaning |
| - | - |
| **Verified** | Someone confirmed that the page is current and the content is correct. |
| **Outdated** | Someone marked the page as out of date. |
| **Expired** | The page was verified, but its verification period ended. |
| **Not verified** | No one verified the page or someone removed its verification. |

## Verify a page

To verify a teamspace page or change its status, you must have the editor or admin [role](https://www.mintlify.com/docs/dashboard/roles.md). 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](https://www.mintlify.com/docs/dashboard/inbox.md#sections-and-filters) of the page's [owner](#add-properties) 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](https://www.mintlify.com/docs/dashboard/roles.md). 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.

```yaml Example verification frontmatter theme={null}
---
title: "Deploy runbook"
verification:
  status: "verified"
  expiresAt: "2027-02-01T00:00:00Z"
---
```

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.
