Most starter customization happens in theme.config.json.

theme.config.json
{
  "$schema": "https://astro-theme-lotus.prosefly.dev/schema.json",
  "name": "Lotus Starter",
  "description": "Documentation built with Astro Theme Lotus.",
  "search": {
    "provider": "local"
  }
}

Use siteNav for top-level links and docsNav for docs navigation.

theme.config.json
{
  "docsBase": "/",
  "siteNav": [{ "label": "Docs", "href": "/overview/" }],
  "docsNav": [
    {
      "label": "Start Here",
      "items": ["overview", "installation", "customization"]
    }
  ]
}

Content

Add pages under src/content/docs. This starter sets docsBase: '/', so src/content/docs/guides/deploy.mdx renders at /guides/deploy/.
