Skip to main content
HCP (HashiCorp Cloud Platform) documentation covers all cloud-hosted HashiCorp products. Unlike most other products in this repository, HCP docs are not versioned — all content lives in a single directory tree tracked on main.

Products covered

The content/hcp-docs/ directory contains documentation for:
  • HCP Vault Dedicated — Managed Vault clusters on HCP
  • HCP Vault Secrets — Application secrets management on HCP
  • HCP Packer — Managed machine image registry on HCP
  • HCP Waypoint — Application lifecycle management on HCP
HCP Waypoint documentation is maintained here, in content/hcp-docs/. The Waypoint Community Edition (open-source Waypoint) is no longer actively maintained and is not part of this repository.

Content directory

content/hcp-docs/
├── content/         # Markdown content files
├── data/            # Navigation sidebar JSON files
├── img/             # Image assets
└── redirects.jsonc  # Redirect rules
Because HCP docs are unversioned, there are no vX.Y.z/ subdirectories. All content lives directly under content/hcp-docs/content/.

Versioning behavior

HCP docs do not use directory-based versioning. In the content API, the content is treated as a single version (v0.0.x) and the branch for the latest version is always main.
Because there is only one version, all edits to HCP docs go directly to the content/hcp-docs/content/ directory. You do not need to identify a version folder before editing.

Finding and editing HCP docs

1

Navigate to the content directory

All HCP content files are in a single location:
ls content/hcp-docs/content/
2

Edit the file

Open the .mdx file you want to change. Since there are no version subdirectories, the file path maps directly to the URL route.
3

Update navigation if needed

Navigation sidebar data is in content/hcp-docs/data/. Add new files to the relevant JSON file to make them appear in the sidebar.
