| # Configuration
 | |
| 
 | |
| When mermaid starts configuration is extracted to a configuration to be used for a diagram. There are 3 sources for configuration:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * The default configuration
 | |
| * Overrides on the site level is set by the initialize call and will be applied to all diagrams in the site/app. The term for this is the **siteConfig**.
 | |
| * Directives - diagram authors can update select configuration parameters directly in the diagram code via directives and these are applied to the render config.
 | |
| 
 | |
| **The render config** is configuration that is used when rendering by applying these configurations.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Theme configuration
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Starting mermaid
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```mermaid
 | |
| sequenceDiagram
 | |
| 	Site->>mermaid: initialize
 | |
| 	Site->>mermaid: content loaded
 | |
| 	mermaid->>mermaidAPI: init
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Initialize
 | |
| 
 | |
| Initialize call is called **only once**. It is called by the site integrator in order to override the default configuration on a site level.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## configApi.reset
 | |
| 
 | |
| This method resets the configuration for a diagram to the site configuration, the configuration provided by the site integrator. Before each rendering of a diagram reset is called in the very beginning of render.
