Pages
Pages
Pages are MDX files that make up your documentation. Each file maps to a URL on your site. You write content using Markdown syntax and Mintlify components, and add frontmatter at the top of each file to set the page title, description, and sidebar label. Place pages in any directory structure that matches your site’s organization.

Components
Components are rich UI elements you embed directly in your MDX pages. They include callouts (Note, Warning, Tip), code blocks with syntax highlighting, cards, steps, tabs, accordions, and more. Components help you present information clearly without writing custom HTML or CSS.
