title: Editing with VS Code
description: How to use Visual Studio Code to contribute to the Zen Browser documentation.
---
Visual Studio Code (VS Code) is a popular and powerful code editor that works well for editing Zen Browser documentation, especially with the right extensions.
## Prerequisites
- [**Visual Studio Code**](https://code.visualstudio.com/) installed on your machine.
- *Note: Popular forks of VS Code, such as [VSCodium](https://vscodium.com/), should also work well.*
## Recommended Extension: MDX
To get the best experience editing `.mdx` files in VS Code, we recommend installing the official MDX extension.
- **Extension Name:** MDX
- **Publisher:** unifiedjs
- **Marketplace Link:** [MDX - Visual Studio Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=unifiedjs.vscode-mdx)
### Benefits
- **Syntax Highlighting:** Provides accurate syntax highlighting for both Markdown and JSX components within `.mdx` files.
- **IntelliSense:** Offers autocompletion and suggestions for MDX syntax and potentially imported components.
- **Error Checking:** Helps identify syntax errors in your MDX code.
### Installation
1. Open VS Code.
2. Go to the Extensions view by clicking the Extensions icon in the Activity Bar on the side of the window or by pressing `Ctrl+Shift+X` (Windows/Linux) or `Cmd+Shift+X` (macOS).
3. Search for `mdx`.
4. Click **Install** on the MDX extension by unifiedjs.
## Steps
1. **Open the Repository Folder**:
- In VS Code, go to `File > Open Folder...` (or `File > Open...` on macOS).
- Navigate to the cloned `docs` repository folder on your local machine and open it.
2. **Start Editing**:
- Open VS Code's File Explorer (left sidebar) and navigate to these key directories:
- **`content/docs/`** - Contains all documentation `.mdx` files you'll be editing
- **`public/assets/`** - Stores images and static assets referenced in documentation
- _**`src/`** - Contains site source code (no editing needed here)_
- Select any `.mdx` file to begin editing. With the MDX extension installed, you'll get:
- Syntax highlighting for Markdown and JSX
- IntelliSense suggestions
- Error checking
<Callout type="warn" title="Image Paths">
When adding images, reference them from `/assets` (not `/public/assets`). Example:
```
![Example Image](/assets/user-manual/image.png)
```
</Callout>
3. **Using Fumadocs Components**:
- Our documentation uses [Fumadocs UI](https://fumadocs.vercel.app/docs/ui) components like `<Callout />`, `<Tabs />`, `<Steps />`, etc.
- You can use these components directly within your `.mdx` files.
- **Global Components:** Components like `<Callout />` are globally available and don't require an explicit import.
- **Imported Components:** Components like `<Tabs />` or `<Steps />` need to be imported at the top of the `.mdx` file. Check existing files or the Fumadocs documentation for import examples.
```ts
import { Tabs, Tab } from 'fumadocs-ui/components/tabs';
import { Steps, Step } from 'fumadocs-ui/components/steps';
```
- Refer to the [Fumadocs UI Documentation](https://fumadocs.vercel.app/docs/ui) for details on available components and their usage.
4. **Run the Development Server** (Recommended):
- Open a terminal within VS Code (`Terminal > New Terminal`).
- Run the command `npm run dev`.
- This will start the development server, usually accessible at `http://localhost:3000`.
- The site will automatically update in your browser as you save changes to the `.mdx` files.
4. **Follow Contribution Steps**:
- Once you've made your changes, follow the standard contribution steps outlined in the main [Docs Contribution Guide](/contribute/docs#writing-guidelines): commit your changes, push them to your fork, and create a pull request.
Using VS Code with the MDX extension provides a robust environment for contributing to the Zen Browser documentation.
