# 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',
        'hello',
        {
          type: 'category',
          label: 'Tutorial',
          items: ['tutorial-basics/create-a-document'],
        },
      ],
    };
