+### Experimental React Server Components (RSC)
+
+If your app uses [React Server Components (RSC)](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/rendering/server-components), Storybook can render them in stories in the browser.
+
+To enable this set the `experimentalNextRSC` feature flag in your `.storybook/main.js` config:
+
+```js
+// main.js
+export default {
+  features: {
+    experimentalNextRSC: true,
+  },
+};
+```
+
+Setting this flag automatically wraps your story in a [Suspense](https://react.dev/reference/react/Suspense) wrapper, which is able to render asynchronous components in NextJS's version of React.
+
+If this wrapper causes problems in any of your existing stories, you can selectively disable it using the `nextjs.rsc` [parameter](https://storybook.js.org/docs/writing-stories/parameters) at the global/component/story level:
+
+```js
+// MyServerComponent.stories.js
+export default {
+  component: MyServerComponent,
+  parameters: { nextjs: { rsc: false } },
+};
+```
+
+Note that wrapping your server components in Suspense does not help if your server components access server-side resources like the file system or Node-specific libraries. To deal work around this, you'll need to mock out your data access layer using [Webpack aliases](https://webpack.js.org/configuration/resolve/#resolvealias) or an addon like [storybook-addon-module-mock](https://storybook.js.org/addons/storybook-addon-module-mock).
+
+If your server components access data via the network, we recommend using the [MSW Storybook Addon](https://storybook.js.org/addons/msw-storybook-addon) to mock network requests.
+
+In the future we will provide better mocking support in Storybook and support for [Server Actions](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/functions/server-actions).
+
 ### Notes for Yarn v2 and v3 users
 
 If you're using [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/) v2 or v3, you may run into issues where Storybook can't resolve `style-loader` or `css-loader`. For example, you might get errors like:
