+# Print Pages
+
+You can control what parts of the pages are printed using the `print` option. VitePress will show the whole page by default, excluding carbon-ads.
+
+Any page with Frontmatter configuration will override the global configuration, for example, the navbar will be hidden when the page containing `navbar: false`.
+
+VitePress has the `screen-only` class to hide elements when printing, you can use it in any component, html or Markdown html content.
+
+```js
+export default {
+  themeConfig: {
+    // or `print: false` to print only the main content  
+    print: {
+      outline: true,
+      navbar: true,
+      sidebar: true,
+      footer: true
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## navbar
+
+- Type: `boolean`
+
+- Details:
+
+  This flag will control the navbar visibility when printing, and will be overriden by the Frontmatter navbar option if set to `false` (navbar will not be visible).
+
+## sidebar
+
+- Type: `boolean`
+
+- Details:
+
+  This flag will control the left sidebar visibility when printing, and will be overriden by the Frontmatter sidebar option if set to `false` (sidebar will not be visible).
+
+## outline
+
+- Type: `boolean`
+
+- Details:
+
+  This flag will control the aside and outline visibility when printing, and will be overriden by the Frontmatter aside and outline options if any set to `false` (right aside will not be visible).
+
+
+## footer
+
+- Type: `boolean`
+
+- Details:
+
+  This flag will control the footer visibility when printing, and will be overriden by the Frontmatter footer option if set to `false` (footer will not be visible).
