Adding items to your site's top navigation bar

1. Add links to docs, custom pages or external links by editing the headerLinks field of website/siteConfig.js:

website/siteConfig.js

{
  headerLinks: [
    ...
    /* you can add docs */
    { doc: 'my-examples', label: 'Examples' },
    /* you can add custom pages */
    { page: 'help', label: 'Help' },
    /* you can add external links */
    { href: 'https://github.com/facebook/Docusaurus', label: 'GitHub' },
    ...
  ],
  ...
}

Adding custom pages

1. Docusaurus uses React components to build pages. The components are saved as .js files in website/pages/en:
2. If you want your page to show up in your navigation header, you will need to update website/siteConfig.js to add to the headerLinks element:

website/siteConfig.js

{
  headerLinks: [
    ...
    { page: 'my-new-custom-page', label: 'My New Custom Page' },
    ...
  ],
  ...
}
