# Manage Docs Versions
Docusaurus can manage multiple versions of your docs.
## Create a docs version
Release a version 1.0 of your project:
```bash
npm run docusaurus docs:version 1.0
```
The `docs` folder is copied into `versioned_docs/version-1.0` and `versions.json` is created.
Your docs now have 2 versions:
- `1.0` at `http://localhost:3000/docs/` for the version 1.0 docs
- `current` at `http://localhost:3000/docs/next/` for the **upcoming, unreleased docs**
## Add a Version Dropdown
To navigate seamlessly across versions, add a version dropdown.
Modify the `docusaurus.config.js` file:
```js title="docusaurus.config.js"
export default {
themeConfig: {
navbar: {
items: [
// highlight-start
{
type: 'docsVersionDropdown',
},
// highlight-end
],
},
},
};
```
The docs version dropdown appears in your navbar:

## Update an existing version
It is possible to edit versioned docs in their respective folder:
- `versioned_docs/version-1.0/hello.md` updates `http://localhost:3000/docs/hello`
- `docs/hello.md` updates `http://localhost:3000/docs/next/hello`
