+# Footer Slot
+
+### Slot ID: `footer_slot`
+
+## Description
+
+This slot is used to replace/modify/hide the footer.
+
+The implementation of the `FooterSlot` component lives in [the `frontend-component-footer` repository](https://github.com/openedx/frontend-component-footer/tree/master/src/components/footer-slot). 
+
+## Example
+
+The following `env.config.jsx` will replace the default footer.
+

+
+const config = {

+    footer_slot: {
