## What kind of change does this PR introduce? Docs update. Aligns documentation and style guides with the **Sign in / Sign out / Sign up** platform standard. Closes DOCS-1328. Related to [#49874](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/pull/49874). ## What is the current behavior? Docs style guides prefer _login_ / _log in_. Guide prose uses mixed login and sign in wording. ## What is the new behavior? - [WORD_LIST.md](apps/docs/WORD_LIST.md) and [copywriting.mdx](apps/design-system/content/docs/copywriting.mdx) document the sign in standard - Design-system auth examples updated - Guide prose and API reference spec descriptions updated ### Terminology **Standard:** Use _sign in_, _sign out_, and _sign up_ as verbs. Use _sign-in_, _sign-out_, and _sign-up_ as nouns and adjectives. Match Studio UI labels (**Sign in**, **Sign out**, **Sign up**). **Preserved intentionally:** | Category | Keep as-is | Example | | -------- | ---------- | ------- | | Feature name | social login | `/social-login`, `features.mdx` heading, OAuth provider section | | URL slugs | `login` in paths | `/phone-login`, `/login-flows`, `choosing-login-flow` | | CLI | `supabase login` / `supabase logout` | Reference ids `supabase-login` / `supabase-logout`; executable commands unchanged | | SDK methods | `logout()` | Kotlin/Swift method names in API reference titles and examples | | Third-party UI | Provider product labels | Facebook Login, Kakao Login, portal **Login** buttons | | Postgres | Database terminology | login privileges, login credentials, login via role | | Audit/logging | Log prose | "Generates the following **log** in the Postgres Logs" | | Code and routes | Paths and filenames | `app/login/`, `Login.tsx`, `demos/android-login` | | External URLs | Third-party login pages | `dash.cloudflare.com/login`, `console.neon.tech/login`, `vercel.com/login` | | API identifiers | Event and field names | Audit actions `login`/`logout`, `should_logout_user` | ## To test - Run `pnpm lint:mdx` in `apps/docs` - Spot-check `features.mdx`, `social-login.mdx`, and a provider guide (e.g. Facebook, Kakao) <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **Documentation** * Standardized authentication terminology across guides, reference material, CLI documentation, and copywriting guidance using “sign in,” “sign out,” and “sign up.” * Updated authentication instructions, headings, link text, examples, and SSO guidance for clearer, more consistent wording. * Corrected related grammar, spelling, hyphenation, and documentation links while preserving established product names and implementation commands. * **Style** * Refined code examples with consistent import ordering and spacing. * **Examples** * Updated authentication button and menu labels to “Sign in” and “Sign out.” <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->

Maintainers
If you are a maintainer of any tools in the Supabase ecosystem, you can use this site to provide documentation for the tools & libraries that you maintain.
DocSpec
We use documentation specifications which can be used to generate human-readable docs.
- OpenAPI: for documenting API endpoints.
- SDKSpec (custom to Supabase): for SDKs and client libraries.
- ConfigSpec (custom to Supabase): for configuration options.
- CLISpec (custom to Supabase): for CLI commands and usage.
The benefit of using custom specifications is that we can generate many other types from a strict schema (eg, HTML and manpages). It also means that we can switch to any documentation system we want. On this site we use Next.js, but on Supabase's official website, we use a custom React site and expose only a subset of the available API for each tool.
