Use banners to display important announcements, updates, or notifications across your entire documentation site. Banners appear at the top of every page, support Markdown formatting, and you can make them dismissible. Banners use the color defined by the colors.dark property in your docs.json. To add a banner, use the banner property in your docs.json:
"banner": {
  "content": "🚀 Version 2.0 is now live! See our [changelog](/changelog) for details.",
  "dismissible": true 
}
You can also configure banners per language by setting banner in navigation.languages. See Language-specific banners.

Properties

content
string
required
The text content displayed in the banner. Supports basic MDX formatting including links, bold, and italic text. Custom components are not supported.
dismissible
boolean
Whether users can dismiss the banner. When true, a close button appears. If a user dismisses the banner, it stays hidden for them until you update the banner content. Defaults to false.

Language-specific banners

Configure different banner content for each language in your documentation. Define language-specific banners in the navigation.languages array in your docs.json.

Fallback behavior

Banners follow a priority order when determining which content to display:
  1. Language-specific banner: If the current language has a banner configuration, it takes priority.
  2. Global banner: If no language-specific banner exists, display the global banner.
