Summary

Add a help-center article that explains why mint export archives require a Node.js runtime and clarifies whether the export can be served on a plain static host.

Changes

  • New help-center/offline-export-requires-node.mdx covering why serve.js is used, why plain static hosting is not supported, and what to do when Node.js is unavailable. Links back to /deploy/export as the canonical page.
  • Added the new page to the "Help center" group in docs.json.

Context

An assistant conversation about offline exports received negative feedback because the existing Offline export page does not explain why Node.js is required or address the follow-up "shouldn't the export support static site hosting?". The help-center article fills that gap without duplicating setup content.


Note

Low Risk
Documentation and navigation-only changes with no product or runtime impact.

Overview
Adds a new help-center article offline-export-requires-node (English plus es, fr, and zh translations) that answers why mint export archives ship with serve.js, why plain static hosting (S3, GitHub Pages, file://) is not supported, and what to do when recipients cannot install Node.js—including links back to Offline export and alternatives like Mintlify hosting, self-host, or feature requests.

Registers the page in the Help center nav in docs.json and the locale nav files (es.json, fr.json, zh.json).
