GitBook provides URLs to access the content of every successful update for a book directly:
<book-access-url>/v/<book-version>
On GitBook, a version can either be a branch, a tag or a version/commit sha of an update.
The version for an update can be found in the Report infos, at the bottom of an update details page.
<book-access-url>
is the access URL to the online version of your book.
It can be found in your book's settings page, under the Domains tab.
When using a custom domain, it is the URL you provided. For instance, this FAQ access URL is https://help.gitbook.com
.
Otherwise, it will always look like: https://<username>.gitbooks.io/<book-name>/content
.
When accessing the URL <book-access-url>/v/<book-version>
, GitBook will try to find the <book-version>
as, in order:
If this FAQ had a branch named new-article
, one could access it at the URL: https://help.gitbook.com/v/new-article
.
Provided we tagged a version of this FAQ to 1.0.0
, and no branch is called the same, one could access it at the URL: https://help.gitbook.com/v/1.0.0
.
Finally, one can access the very first published version of this FAQ at: https://help.gitbook.com/v/5ff309ae0384a021ce60ffb56246c4f08ad28d05
