-## Service Worker
-
-The `themeConfig.serviceWorker` option allows you to configure the service worker.

-::: tip
-Please do not confuse this option with [Config > serviceWorker](../config/README.md#serviceworker), [Config > serviceWorker](../config/README.md#serviceworker) is **site-level**, while this option is **theme-level**.

-### Popup UI to refresh contents <Badge text="0.13.0+"/> <Badge text="beta" type="warn"/>
-
-The `themeConfig.serviceWorker.updatePopup` option enables a popup to refresh site content. The popup will be shown when the site is updated (i.e. service worker is updated). It provides a `refresh` button to allow users to refresh contents immediately.
-
-::: tip NOTE
-If without the `refresh` button, the new service worker will be active after all [clients](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Clients) are closed. This means that visitors cannot see new contents until they close all tabs of your site. But the `refresh` button activates the new service worker immediately.

-## Service Worker
-
-`themeConfig.serviceWorker` 允许你去配置 Service Worker。
-
-::: tip 提示
-请不要将本选项与 [Config > serviceWorker](../config/README.md#serviceworker) 混淆，[Config > serviceWorker](../config/README.md#serviceworker) 是网站级别的配置，而本选项是主题级别的配置。

-
-### 刷新内容的弹窗 <Badge text="0.13.0+"/> <Badge text="beta" type="warn"/>
-
-开启 `themeConfig.serviceWorker.updatePopup` 选项，将开启一个能够刷新内容的弹窗。当网站更新（即 Service Worker 更新）时，它会提供一个 `refresh` 按钮，允许用户立刻刷新内容。
-
-::: tip 提示
-如果没有 `refresh` 按钮，新的 service worker 将在所有的 [clients](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Clients) 关闭后才会处于活动状态。这意味着访问者在关闭你网站的所有标签之前将无法看到新内容。但是，`refresh` 按钮可以立即激活新的 Service Worker。
