Have you read the Contributing Guidelines on issues?

Yes

Has this been requested on Canny?

https://docusaurus.io/feature-requests/p/allow-for-non-linear-navigation kind of points to this

Motivation

To allow for non-linear navigation; also related to #5686 because this will be used home pages where navigation doesn’t make sense

API Design

• pagination_next: my-doc (a doc ID)
• pagination_prev: my-doc
• pagination_next: null (disable pagination)
• pagination_prev: null

Have you tried building it?

Yes, using swizzling and adding CSS to hide pagination; but repointing links would require editing on the plugin side

Agree, let’s keep it simple for now, as long as we keep the ability to improve later without breaking changes

Does it make sense to also allow arbitrary links for next/previous?

I just propose we use doc IDs as next/previous 😛 Makes the implementation / validation so much easier. We can allow arbitrary links later maybe, but IMO it doesn’t make much sense
