# Docs7 configuration

> Configure Docs7-only fields in docs.json

Docs7 supports the Mintlify `docs.json` format and adds two optional top-level fields.

## Filter the sidebar

Set `filterSidebar` to `true` to add a filter above the sidebar. Readers can press `/` to focus it.

```json docs.json
{
  "filterSidebar": true
}
```

The default value is `false`.

## Group products

Use `productGroups` to move product tabs from the top navigation into named groups on the documentation sidebar.

```json docs.json
{
  "productGroups": [
    {
      "group": "Products",
      "products": [
        {
          "product": "Redis",
          "icon": "/images/redis.svg",
          "description": "Serverless Redis"
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "group": "Utility",
      "products": [
        {
          "product": "Rate Limit",
          "pages": ["ratelimit/overview", "ratelimit/get-started"]
        }
      ]
    }
  ],
  "navigation": {
    "tabs": [
      {
        "tab": "Documentation",
        "pages": ["index"]
      },
      {
        "tab": "Redis",
        "pages": ["redis/overview", "redis/get-started"]
      },
      {
        "tab": "API Reference",
        "pages": ["api/introduction"]
      }
    ]
  }
}
```

In this example:

- `Documentation` is the landing tab.
- `Redis` uses the existing tab with the same name.
- `Rate Limit` owns its pages and does not need a tab.
- `API Reference` stays in the top navigation.

A product can own `pages` or `groups`, but not both. Product and group names must be unique.

<Note>
  Do not add the landing tab to `productGroups`. Do not use `productGroups` with Mintlify `navigation.products`.
</Note>

If `productGroups` is not set, Docs7 uses your regular Mintlify navigation.
