 The documentation itself has to be built during the project continuous
 integration and published as a GitHub actions artifact.
 
-Then, the repository can be configured to request a preview when
-a comment `/preview` is written in the pull request page. The request
-is made as en HTTP POST request, for example:
-
-```
-curl -X POST https://docs-previewer-server.com/preview/pandas-dev/pandas/56907/
+## Client installation
+
+To be able to use this service in your project, you need to have a CI
+job that looks like this:
+
+```yaml
+on: [ push, pull_request ]
+
+jobs:
+  doc:
+    name: Build Documentation
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      # Instead of this step you may have a step to check out the repository,
+      # another to call `sphinx-build`, or anything that generates a directory
+      # with the html version of your website or documentation
+      - run: mkdir docs_dir && echo "Preview is working!" > docs_dir/index.html
+
+      - uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
+        with:
+          name: docs_artifact
+          path: docs_dir
 ```
 
-This will cause the server to download the artifact and extract it, so it is
-available for example at https://docs-previewer-server.com/previews/56907/
-
-The server will automatically delete old previews.
+Then, you can add one action in your CI to for example publish the website or
+documentation of a pull request when a user writes a comment with the content
+`/preview`:
+
+```yaml
+on:
+  issue_comment:
+    types: created
+
+jobs:
+  previewer:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    permissions:
+      pull-requests: write
+    if: github.event.issue.pull_request && github.event.comment.body == '/preview'
+    steps:
+      - uses: pandas-dev/github-doc-previewer@master
+        with:
+          # The server specified here has to explicitly allow your GitHub organization
+          previewer-server: "https://pandas.pydata.org"
+
+          # Note that this has to match with the name of the job where the
+          # `upload-artifact` action is called
+          artifact-job: "Build Documentation"
+```
