+## Customizing Babel Configuration
+
+For new Docusaurus projects, we automatically generated a `babel.config.js` in project root.

+```js title="babel.config.js"

+Most of the times, this configuration will work just fine. If you want to customize it, you can directly edit this file to customize babel configuration. For your changes to take effect, you need to restart Docusaurus devserver.
