Start with [installation and basic usage](https://docs.univer.ai/guides/boards/getting-started/installation.md). This example uses Next.js App Router to mount Univer Boards in a container with an explicit height.

Load the editor from a Client Component with `ssr: false`[^ssr]. A `use client` directive alone does not disable prerendering. [Next.js](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/guides/lazy-loading#skipping-ssr).

Use your client license content in place of `YOUR_CLIENT_LICENSE`; do not use a file path. [License configuration](https://docs.univer.ai/server/license.md).

### Integration Steps

1. Initialize Univer in `useEffect`.
2. Dispose of Univer in `useEffect cleanup`.

### Example

Each mount uses its own child container. Disposal runs in a microtask after the surrounding React cleanup, so nested React roots are not unmounted synchronously during a React commit.

        container.remove()
      })
    }
  }, [])

  return <div ref={containerRef} style={{ height: 600 }} />
}
```

```tsx title="page.tsx"
'use client'

import dynamic from 'next/dynamic'

const UniverEditor = dynamic(() => import('./univer-editor'), { ssr: false })

export default function Page() {
  return <UniverEditor />
}
```

[^ssr]: Server-side rendering (SSR) runs rendering code before the browser loads the page. Browser-only APIs such as `window` and the DOM are unavailable there; a Client Component may still be prerendered unless SSR is disabled for that editor component.
