 * `gated_unit_content_message_slot`
 
 ### Props:
-* `courseId`
+* `courseId` - String identifier for the current course
+
+## Description
+
+This slot is used to customize the message displayed when course content is gated or locked for learners who haven't upgraded to a verified track. It appears when a unit contains content that requires a paid enrollment (such as graded assignments) and the learner is on the audit track.
+
+The default implementation shows a `LockPaywall` component that displays an upgrade message with benefits of upgrading, including access to graded assignments, certificates, and full course features.
+
+This slot is conditionally rendered only when `contentTypeGatingEnabled` is true and the unit `containsContentTypeGatedContent`.
+
+## Example
+
+The following `env.config.jsx` will replace the default paywall message with a custom gated content component.
+

+
+## Description
+
+This slot is used to customize the notification tray that appears in the courseware sidebar. The notification tray displays upgrade-related notifications and alerts for learners in verified mode courses. It provides a way to show contextual notifications about course access, deadlines, and upgrade opportunities.
+
+The slot is conditionally rendered only for learners in verified mode courses. For non-verified courses, a simple "no notifications" message is displayed instead.
+
+The `notificationCurrentState` can be one of: `'accessLastHour'`, `'accessHoursLeft'`, `'accessDaysLeft'`, `'FPDdaysLeft'`, `'FPDLastHour'`, `'accessDateView'`, or `'PastExpirationDate'`.

 ### Props:

-* `setNotificationCurrentState`
-* `toggleSidebar`
+* `courseId` - String identifier for the current course
+* `model` - String indicating the context model (set to 'coursewareMeta')

+* `setNotificationCurrentState` - Function to update the notification state
+* `toggleSidebar` - Function to toggle the sidebar open/closed
+
+## Description
+
+This slot is used to customize the notification widget that appears in the discussions-notifications sidebar. The widget is displayed as a compact notification component that shows upgrade-related alerts and can trigger the full notification tray when clicked.
+
+The widget appears in the combined discussions-notifications sidebar and is conditionally rendered based on the `hideNotificationbar` and `isNotificationbarAvailable` flags. It automatically tracks user engagement and calls `onNotificationSeen` after a 3-second timeout.
+
+The `notificationCurrentState` can be one of: `'accessLastHour'`, `'accessHoursLeft'`, `'accessDaysLeft'`, `'FPDdaysLeft'`, `'FPDLastHour'`, `'accessDateView'`, or `'PastExpirationDate'`.
+
+## Example
+
+The following `env.config.jsx` will customize the notification widget with a more interactive design and additional functionality.
