+# Customization
+
+You might want to customize your site to include a 'print' button on every page (like the one in the right corner of this page 👆)
+
+MkDocs supports [theme extension](https://www.mkdocs.org/user-guide/styling-your-docs/#using-the-theme-custom_dir), an easy way to override parts of a theme.
+You can use `page.url_to_print_page` to get the link to the site print page.
+
+## Adding a print button to mkdocs-material theme
+
+In `mkdocs-material` theme (see [customization](https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/customization/#overriding-template-blocks)), first create a directory for overrides and update your `mkdocs.yml`:
+
+```yml
+theme:
+  name: material
+  custom_dir: docs/overrides
+```
+ 
+You can create the file `docs/overrides/main.html` as follows:
+
+```
+{% extends "base.html" %}
+
+{% block content %}
+{% if page.url_to_print_page %}
+    <a href="{{ page.url_to_print_page }}" title="Print Site" class="md-content__button md-icon">
+        {% include ".icons/material/printer.svg" %}
+    </a>
+{% endif %}
+
+{{ super() }}
+{% endblock content %}
+```
+
+## Adding a print button to mkdocs theme
+
+You can also [customize](https://www.mkdocs.org/user-guide/custom-themes/#creating-a-custom-theme) the base mkdocs theme, by first creating an `overrides` directory:
+
+```yml
+theme:
+    name: mkdocs
+    custom_dir: docs/overrides
+```
+
+And then adding a file `docs/overrides/main.html` with the following content:
+
+```html
+{% extends "base.html" %}
+
+{% block repo %}
+    {% if page.url_to_print_page %}
+        <li class="nav-item">
+            <a href="{{ page.url_to_print_page }}" title="Print Site" class="nav-link">
+                <i class="fa fa-print"></i> Print
+            </a>
+        </li>
+    {% endif %}
+
+{{ super() }}
+{% endblock repo %}
+```
