 # Prev Next Link
 
-You can customize the text of previous and next links. This is helpful if you want to show different text on previous/next links than what you have on your sidebar.
+You can customize the text and link for the previous and next pages (shown at doc footer). This is helpful if you want a different text there than what you have on your sidebar. Additionally, you may find it useful to disable the footer or link to a page that is not included in your sidebar.
 
 ## prev

+- Type: `string | false | { text?: string; link?: string }`
 
 - Details:
 
-  Specify the text to show on the link to the previous page.
+  Specifies the text/link to show on the link to the previous page. If you don't set this in frontmatter, the text/link will be inferred from the sidebar config.
