Then, you can retrieve all other frontmatter properties from your layout via the `frontmatter` property, and render your MDX using the default [`<slot />`](https://docs.astro.build/en/core-concepts/astro-components/#slots):

You can set a layout’s [`Props` type](/en/guides/typescript/#component-props) with the `MDXLayoutProps` helper.

:::note
`MDXLayoutProps` is the same as the `MarkdownLayoutProps` utility type with `rawContent()` and `compiledContent()` removed (since these are not available for `.mdx` files). Feel free to **use `MarkdownLayoutProps` instead** when sharing a layout across `.md` and `.mdx` files.

import type { MDXLayoutProps } from 'astro';

#### Layout props

All [exported properties](#exported-properties) are available from `Astro.props` in your layout, **with two key differences:**
- Heading information (i.e. `h1 -> h6` elements) is available via the `headings` array, rather than a `getHeadings()` function.
- `file` and `url` are _also_ available as nested `frontmatter` properties (i.e. `frontmatter.url` and `frontmatter.file`). This is consistent with Astro's Markdown layout properties.

Astro recommends using the `MDXLayoutProps` type (see previous section) to explore all available properties.

#### Importing layouts manually

You may need to pass information to your layouts that does not (or cannot) exist in your frontmatter. In this case, you can import and use a [`<Layout />` component](https://docs.astro.build/en/core-concepts/layouts/) like any other component:
