From ec69c767ff64f709c3ea1cf4ecff30667710de45 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Teknium <127238744+teknium1@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2026 16:40:47 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] docs(desktop): point Chat section to remote-backend + dashboard doc (#38545) The Desktop Chat section described chat-only and gave no signpost that remote-hosted Hermes connection is documented. Adds a pointer to the in-page remote-backend section and to the deeper Web Dashboard doc. --- website/docs/user-guide/desktop.md | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/website/docs/user-guide/desktop.md b/website/docs/user-guide/desktop.md index af417853f8c..5eb2fcb17df 100644 --- a/website/docs/user-guide/desktop.md +++ b/website/docs/user-guide/desktop.md @@ -57,6 +57,8 @@ The center of the app. You get: - **Drag-and-drop files** anywhere in the chat area to attach them to your next message. - **A right-hand preview rail** — render web pages, files, and tool outputs side by side while you keep chatting. +Chatting against a Hermes instance on another machine instead of the bundled local backend?
