Create a Document

Documents are groups of pages connected through:

  • a sidebar
  • previous/next navigation
  • versioning

Create your first Doc

Create a Markdown file at docs/hello.md:

docs/hello.md
# Hello This is my **first Docusaurus document**!

A new document is now available at http://localhost:3000/docs/hello.

Configure the Sidebar

Docusaurus automatically creates a sidebar from the docs folder.

Add metadata to customize the sidebar label and position:

docs/hello.md
--- sidebar_label: 'Hi!' sidebar_position: 3 --- # Hello This is my **first Docusaurus document**!

It is also possible to create your sidebar explicitly in sidebars.js:

sidebars.js
export default { tutorialSidebar: [ 'intro', // highlight-next-line 'hello', { type: 'category', label: 'Tutorial', items: ['tutorial-basics/create-a-document'], }, ], };
