Overview

When Theming isn’t enough, customization is the next step. Override specific components to precisely adjust the UI and behavior where you need it.

Best Practices

  • Start with theming before overriding components to keep upgrades easy.
  • Override the smallest component that achieves the desired UX change.
  • Keep custom UI aligned with default patterns for consistency.
  • Document each override and the reason it exists.
  • Re-test custom components after SDK updates.
