+
+# Custom header and footer
+
+## Overview
+
+By default, `r Biocpkg("iSEEindex")` creates a minimal landing page presenting users with a fluid row that contains two `shinydashboard::box()`:
+
+- On the left, users can select a data set.
+- On the right, users can select an initial configuration and launch the main app interface.
+
+`r Biocpkg("iSEEindex")` offers the opportunity for app maintainers to add content above (i.e., header) and below (i.e., footer) that row.
+
+That header and footer space may contain any valid UI element that will be displayed in the application UI *as is*.
+
+## Implementation
+
+The function `iSEEindex()` accepts header and footer content through its arguments `body.header=` and `body.footer=`.
+
+We recommend wrapping header and footer content in `shiny::fluidRow()`, to fit naturally with the main fluid row (see above).
+
+# Example
+
+First, let us set up the core elements of a simple application (see `?iSEEindex`).
+
+```{r, message=FALSE}
+library("BiocFileCache")
+
+##
+# BiocFileCache ----
+##
+
+library(BiocFileCache)
+bfc <- BiocFileCache(cache = tempdir())
+
+##
+# iSEEindex ----
+##
+
+dataset_fun <- function() {
+  x <- yaml::read_yaml(system.file(package = "iSEEindex", "example.yaml"))
+  x$datasets
+}
+
+initial_fun <- function() {
+  x <- yaml::read_yaml(system.file(package = "iSEEindex", "example.yaml"))
+  x$initial
+}
+```
+
+Then, we design header and footer content, each wrapped in a `shiny::fluidRow()`.
+
+```{r, message=FALSE}
+library("shiny")
+header <- fluidRow(shinydashboard::box(width = 12L, 
+  column(width = 10,
+    p(strong("Welcome to this demonstration app!")),
+    p(
+      "This is an example header that demonstrate how to use the functionality.",
+      "A great place for branding and intros.",
+    ),
+    p("On the right, we demonstrate how other content such as images can be added to this header.")
+  ),
+  column(width = 2, img(src="www/iSEE.png", width = "100px", height = "120px"))
+))
+footer <- fluidRow(shinydashboard::box(width = 12L,
+  p("This is a example footer. A great place for copyright statements and outros.", style="text-align: center;"),
+  p(
+    "© 2023 iSEE.",
+    a("Artistic-2.0", href = "https://opensource.org/license/artistic-2-0/"),
+    style="text-align: center;")
+  ))
+```
+
+For the image file to be found, the containing directory must be added to the Shiny resource path as follows:
+
+```{r, message=FALSE}
+library("shiny")
+addResourcePath("www", system.file(package = "iSEEindex"))
+```
+
+Finally, we supply the custom header and footer to `iSEEindex()`.
+
+```{r, message=FALSE}
+library("iSEEindex")
+app <- iSEEindex(bfc, dataset_fun, initial_fun,
+  body.header = header, body.footer = footer
+)
+
+if (interactive()) {
+  shiny::runApp(app, port = 1234)
+}
+```
+
+```{r, echo=FALSE}
+SCREENSHOT("screenshots/header_footer.png", delay=20)
+```
+
+
+# Reproducibility
+
+The `r Biocpkg("iSEEindex")` package `r Citep(bib[["iSEEindex"]])` was made possible thanks to:
+
+* R `r Citep(bib[["R"]])`
+* `r Biocpkg("BiocStyle")` `r Citep(bib[["BiocStyle"]])`
+* `r CRANpkg("knitr")` `r Citep(bib[["knitr"]])`
+* `r CRANpkg("RefManageR")` `r Citep(bib[["RefManageR"]])`
+* `r CRANpkg("rmarkdown")` `r Citep(bib[["rmarkdown"]])`
+* `r CRANpkg("sessioninfo")` `r Citep(bib[["sessioninfo"]])`
+* `r CRANpkg("testthat")` `r Citep(bib[["testthat"]])`
+
+This package was developed using `r BiocStyle::Biocpkg("biocthis")`.
+
+
+Code for creating the vignette
+
+```{r createVignette, eval=FALSE}
+## Create the vignette
+library("rmarkdown")
+system.time(render("header.Rmd", "BiocStyle::html_document"))
+
+## Extract the R code
+library("knitr")
+knit("header.Rmd", tangle = TRUE)
+```
+
+Date the vignette was generated.
+
+```{r reproduce1, echo=FALSE}
+## Date the vignette was generated
+Sys.time()
+```
+
+Wallclock time spent generating the vignette.
+
+```{r reproduce2, echo=FALSE}
+## Processing time in seconds
+totalTime <- diff(c(startTime, Sys.time()))
+round(totalTime, digits = 3)

+
+`R` session information.
