# JSS App Configuration API

To import a Sitecore JSS app, run it in Integrated mode, or integrate it with advanced Sitecore editors, you must configure the app in Sitecore using a standard Sitecore configuration patch.

App configuration support is supported in Sitecore by the [App Configuration API](https://doc.sitecore.com/xp/en/developers/hd/21/sitecore-headless-development/app-configuration-api.html "App Configuration API") provided by [Sitecore Headless Services](https://doc.sitecore.com/xp/en/developers/hd/21/sitecore-headless-development/sitecore-headless-services.html "Sitecore Headless Services").

To configure your JSS application, add configuration patches for your JSS applications using one of the following files using the available [configuration options](https://doc.sitecore.com/xp/en/developers/hd/21/sitecore-headless-development/app-configuration-api.html "App Configuration API"):

- For applications created with JSS, include the necessary `<app />` configuration in the `/sitecore/config` directory of the application's source code.
- In your Sitecore instance, you can rename and edit `\App_Config\Sitecore\JavaScriptServices\Sitecore.JavaScriptServices.ExampleApp.config.example`.
