What is a well-known file ?

- Domain check (Google, Apple, etc.)

- Integration of security tools such as privacy policies or authentication services (OAuth).
By hosting these files, you prove that you control the domain and facilitate exchanges with third party services.
What does the Webflow update bring?

Webflow Now allows you to host additional files in the directory /.well-known. This provides greater flexibility to meet compliance and security needs imposed by third parties.
