Next.js has two di�erent routers: the App Router and the Pages Router. The App Router is a
newer router that allows you to use React's latest features, such as Server Components and
Streaming. The Pages Router is the original Next.js router, which allowed you to build server-
rendered React applications and continues to be supported for older Next.js applications.
At the top of the sidebar, you'll notice a dropdown menu that allows you to switch between
the and the features. Since there are features that are unique to
each directory, it's important to keep track of which tab is selected.
The breadcrumbs at the top of the page will also indicate whether you're viewing App Router
docs or Pages Router docs.
To get the most out of our docs, it's recommended that you have a basic understanding of
HTML, CSS, and React. If you need to brush up on your React skills, check out our React
Foundations Course, which will introduce you to the fundamentals. Then, learn more about
Next.js by building a dashboard application.
For optimal accessibility when using a screen reader while reading the docs, we recommend
using Firefox and NVDA, or Safari and VoiceOver.
