3. In the file name field, type `404.html` or `404.md`.

4. If you named your file `404.md`, add the following YAML front matter to the beginning of the file:
|
|
```
|
|

|
|
permalink: /404.html
|
|
---
|
|
```
|
|
5. Below the YAML front matter, if present, add the content you want to display on your 404 page.
|
|
{% data reusables.files.write_commit_message %}
|
|
{% data reusables.files.choose-commit-email %}
|
|
{% data reusables.files.choose_commit_branch %}
|
