Storybook UI is configurable using an options API that allows you to tweak its appearance globally and for each story.

Global options

Import and use setConfig in your manager.js file.

import { addons } from '@storybook/addons';

addons.setConfig({
  /**
   * show story component as full screen
   * @type {Boolean}
   */
  isFullscreen: false,

  /**
   * display panel that shows a list of stories
   * @type {Boolean}
   */
  showNav: true,

  /**
   * display panel that shows addon configurations
   * @type {Boolean}
   */
  showPanel: true,

  /**
   * where to show the addon panel
   * @type {('bottom'|'right')}
   */
  panelPosition: 'bottom',

  /**
   * sidebar tree animations
   * @type {Boolean}
   */
  sidebarAnimations: true,

  /**
   * enable/disable shortcuts
   * @type {Boolean}
   */
  enableShortcuts: true,

  /**
   * show/hide tool bar
   * @type {Boolean}
   */
  isToolshown: true,

  /**
   * theme storybook, see link below
   */
  theme: undefined,

  /**	
   * id to select an addon panel	
   * @type {String}	
   */	
  selectedPanel: undefined,

  /**	
   * Select the default active tab on Mobile.
   * 'sidebar' | 'canvas' | 'addons'
   * @type {('sidebar'|'canvas'|'addons')}
   */	
  initialActive: 'sidebar',
});

showRoots

Import and use addParameters with the options key in your preview.js file.

import { addParameters } from '@storybook/react';

addParameters({
  options: {
    /**
     * display the top-level grouping as a "root" in the sidebar
     * @type {Boolean}
     */
    showRoots: false,
  },
});

Sorting stories

Import and use addParameters with the options key in your preview.js file.

import { addParameters } from '@storybook/react';

addParameters({
  options: {
    storySort: (a, b) =>
      a[1].kind === b[1].kind ? 0 : a[1].id.localeCompare(b[1].id, undefined, { numeric: true }),
  },
});

For more information on configuring the theme, see theming.

Per-story options

The options-addon accepts story parameters on the options key:

import MyComponent from './my-component';

export default {
  title: 'Options',
  parameters: {
    options: { selectedPanel: 'storybook/a11y/panel' },
  },
};
