+# AuthoringAppSlot
+
+### Slot ID: `authoring_app_slot`
+
+### Plugin Props:
+
+NONE
+
+## Description
+
+The slot wraps the entire application. It can be used to add content before or
+after the application (such as cookie banners) or to wrap the entire
+application in a component. One possible use case of that is to wrap the entire
+application in a context manager that would allow communication between
+different slots injected on the page.
+
+## Example
+
+
+
+The following example configuration wraps the entire app in a dashed border as
+shown above.
+
+```js
+import { PLUGIN_OPERATIONS } from '@openedx/frontend-plugin-framework';
+
+const config = {
+ pluginSlots: {
+ authoring_app_slot: {
+ keepDefault: true,
+ plugins: [
+ {
+ op: PLUGIN_OPERATIONS.Wrap,
+ widgetId: 'default_contents',
+ wrapper: ({ component }) => (
+ {component}
+ ),
+ },
+ ],
+ },
+ }
+};
+export default config;
+```
