## I have read the

file.

YES

## Problem

The Network Restrictions docs contain an incorrect curl example that,
when followed, restricts the entire database instead of adding only the
specified IP/CIDR — causing production outages for users.

## Solution

Fix the incorrect curl command in the Network Restrictions docs so that
it correctly adds only the specified CIDR rather than restricting the
entire database.

This PR solves the problem by adding an `--append` CLI procedure.

Additionally, the document is improved:
- All procedures are put in procedure format for easier readability and
clear action steps
- Wording is simpler
- Headers follow convention
- A "This topic..." intro paragraph is added

## Tophatting
1. Go to the preview link at
`/docs/guides/platform/network-restrictions`.
2. Verify that the new `--append` section corrects the original issue.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Documentation**
* Reworked the network restrictions guide into clearer “dashboard” and
“CLI” setup flows.
* Expanded the intro with IPv4/IPv6 CIDR allowlisting guidance,
including exceptions for IPv6 migration extensions and when the IPv4
add-on is installed.
* Updated the CLI instructions with structured examples for checking,
replacing, appending, and fully removing restrictions (including the
“never applied” case when allowed lists are empty).
* Clarified scope/limitations: restrictions apply to Postgres and its
pooler (not HTTPS APIs or client libraries), and enabling restrictions
blocks Edge Function direct database access.

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.
