# Document [![Version](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/@tiptap/extension-document.svg?label=version)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@tiptap/extension-document) [![Downloads](https://img.shields.io/npm/dm/@tiptap/extension-document.svg)](https://npmcharts.com/compare/@tiptap/extension-document?minimal=true) **The `Document` extension is required**, no matter what you build with tiptap. It’s a so called “topNode”, a node that’s the home to all other nodes. Think of it like the `` tag for your document. The node is very tiny though. It defines a name of the node (`document`), is configured to be a top node (`topNode: true`) and that it can contain multiple other nodes (`block+`). That’s all. But have a look yourself: :::warning Breaking Change from 1.x → 2.x tiptap 1 tried to hide that node from you, but it has always been there. You have to explicitly import it from now on (or use `defaultExtensions()`). ::: ## Installation ```bash # with npm npm install @tiptap/extension-document # with Yarn yarn add @tiptap/extension-document ``` ## Source code [packages/extension-document/](https://github.com/ueberdosis/tiptap/blob/main/packages/extension-document/) ## Usage
