-### Accessing the tornado request (`prelaunch-hook`)
+### Customizing Voila with Hooks
+
+Voila provides hooks that allow you to customize its behavior to fit your specific needs. These hooks enable you to inject custom functions at certain points during Voila's execution, giving you control over aspects like notebook execution and frontend configuration.
+
+Currently, Voila supports the following hooks:
+
+- prelaunch_hook: Access and modify the Tornado request and notebook before execution.
+- page_config_hook: Customize the page_config object, which controls the Voila frontend configuration.
+
+#### Accessing the tornado request (`prelaunch-hook`)
 
 In certain custom setups when you need to access the tornado request object in order to check for authentication cookies, access details about the request headers, or modify the notebook before rendering. You can leverage the `prelaunch-hook`, which lets you inject a function to inspect the notebook and the request prior to executing them.

+#### Customize the page config object (`page_config_hook`)
+
+The page_config_hook allows you to customize the page_config object, which controls various aspects of the Voila frontend. This is useful when you need to modify frontend settings such as the URLs for static assets or other configuration parameters.
+
+By default, Voila uses the following page_config:
+
+```python
+# Default page_config
+page_config = {
+    "appVersion": __version__,
