Citrix Secure Developer Spaces™

General Settings

This section covers fundamental platform-wide configurations. Administrators can manage Maintenance Messages, configure Custom Actions, recover Deleted Projects and Deleted Organizations, set a Custom Documentation URL, and adjust settings for the initial User Journey.

Maintenance Messages

You can configure and display maintenance messages to users. These messages can inform users of scheduled downtime, ongoing maintenance, or other important platform-wide notifications.

Maintenance messages settings page

Custom Actions

Configure custom actions that can be triggered within the platform. This allows you to extend platform functionality with specific automated tasks or integrations tailored to your organization’s workflows.

Documentation

By default, the platform links to the standard Citrix SDS documentation. You can replace this link with a custom documentation URL that points to your organization’s own documentation site.

When enabled, this change applies to all users across all projects and organizations. When you turn the setting off, the link reverts to the default Citrix SDS documentation.

Documentation settings with the custom documentation link disabled

To set a custom documentation URL:

  1. Go to Settings > General > Documentation.
  2. Turn on Enable custom documentation link.
  3. In the Custom Documentation URL field, enter the full web address of your documentation site, including https://.
  4. Click Apply.

Documentation settings with the custom documentation link enabled

To revert to the default Citrix SDS documentation, turn off Enable custom documentation link.

OpenVSX Marketplace

By default, VS Code workspaces in SDS use the public Open VSX marketplace for extension discovery and installation. You can override this with a custom OpenVSX marketplace URL so that developers only discover and install extensions from your organization’s approved marketplace.

This setting is configured at the platform level and is inherited by all organizations, projects, and workspaces. When enabled, new workspaces use the configured marketplace immediately. Existing workspaces use the new marketplace after their next restart.

OpenVSX Marketplace settings page with the custom marketplace enabled

To configure a custom OpenVSX marketplace:

  1. Go to Settings > General > OpenVSX Marketplace.
  2. Turn on Enable custom OpenVSX marketplace.
  3. In the Marketplace Base URL field, enter the base URL of your internal OpenVSX service, including https://.
  4. Click Apply.

To revert to the default public marketplace, turn off Enable custom OpenVSX marketplace.

Note:

Changes take effect immediately for new workspaces. Existing workspaces continue to use their current marketplace configuration until they are restarted.

User Journey

This section allows administrators to configure the initial setup wizard presented to users upon their first interaction with the platform.
