devIndicators

When you edit your code, and Next.js is compiling the application, a compilation indicator appears in the bottom right corner of the page.

Good to know: This indicator is only present in development mode and will not appear when building and running the app in production mode.

In some cases this indicator can be misplaced on your page, for example, when conflicting with a chat launcher. To change its position, open next.config.js and set the buildActivityPosition in the devIndicators object to bottom-right (default), bottom-left, top-right or top-left:

next.config.js
module.exports = {
  devIndicators: {
    buildActivityPosition: 'bottom-right',
  },
}

In some cases this indicator might not be useful for you. To remove it, open next.config.js and disable the buildActivity config in devIndicators object:

next.config.js
module.exports = {
  devIndicators: {
    buildActivity: false,
  },
}
