I just added our domain, and as per instruction in the page following, it says, "Add the following nameservers on your DNS provider. ..."

I want to keep my current nameserver setup, and from my chat with the tech support of my current provider, "If you want to keep DNS management with us, clarify with appwrite if they can give you the DNS records to add instead of changing nameservers."

Following the link to the custom-domains documentation, I have two options: the A record or the CNAME record. Which type should I add, or both? I looked at the settings for A record and CNAME record, but I can't see where to add "ns1.appwrite.zone."

Any help is highly appreciated.

TL;DR
Developer added domain in Appwrite and needs to add nameservers on DNS provider. Can keep current nameserver setup by adding DNS records recommended by Appwrite, ns1.appwrite.zone. Choose A record, CNAME record, or both. Check DNS provider's settings for adding these records. Contact Appwrite support for detailed instructions.
