{
  headerLinks: [
    ...
    /* you can add docs */
    { doc: 'my-examples', label: 'Examples' },
    /* you can add custom pages */
    { page: 'help', label: 'Help' },

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' },
    ...
  ],
  ...
}
