# Set up navigation

The `docs.yml` file configures your whole documentation site, from visual styling to navigation. Navigation covers the tabs, sections, and pages that make up your site's structure. These settings determine what readers see in the sidebar and top bar, and how they move between pages.

## Quick example

Here's a minimal example showing navigation structure in `docs.yml`:

**`docs.yml`**

```yaml title="docs.yml"
navigation:
  - section: Getting started
    contents:
      - page: Introduction
        path: docs/pages/intro.mdx
      - page: Quickstart
        path: docs/pages/quickstart.mdx
  - api: API Reference
```
