+## Migrating from `withPageAuthRequired` and `withApiAuthRequired`
 
 `withPageAuthRequired` and `withApiAuthRequired` have been removed from v4 of the SDK. Instead, we recommend adding a `getSession()` check or relying on `useUser()` hook where you would have previously used the helpers.
 
 On the server-side, the `getSession()` method can be used to check if the user is authenticated:
 
 ```tsx
-function Page() {

+## Handling Dynamic Base URLs (e.g. Vercel Preview Deployments)
+When deploying to platforms like Vercel with dynamic preview URLs, it's important to set the correct appBaseUrl and redirect_uri at runtime — especially in preview environments where URLs change per deployment.
+1. Set `APP_BASE_URL` dynamically in `next.config.js`:
+```ts
+// next.config.js
+module.exports = {
+  env: {
+    APP_BASE_URL:
+      process.env.VERCEL_ENV === "preview"
+        ? `https://${process.env.VERCEL_BRANCH_URL}`
+        : process.env.APP_BASE_URL,
+  },
+};
+```
+2. Use the `APP_BASE_URL` in your Auth0 configuration:
+```ts
+export const auth0 = new Auth0Client({
+  appBaseUrl: process.env.APP_BASE_URL,
+  authorizationParameters: {
+    redirect_uri: `${process.env.APP_BASE_URL}/auth/callback`,
+    audience: "YOUR_API_AUDIENCE_HERE", // optional
+  },
+});
+```
+3. Ensure your Auth0 application settings include the dynamic URL in the **Allowed Callback URLs** and **Allowed Logout URLs** fields. For example, `https://*.vercel.app/auth/callback`.
 
 ## Additional changes
 
 - By default, v4 is edge-compatible and as such there is no longer a `@auth0/nextjs-auth0/edge` export.
-- All cookies set by the SDK default to `SameSite=Lax`
-- `touchSession` method was removed. The middleware enables rolling sessions by default and can be configured via the [session configuration](https://github.com/auth0/nextjs-auth0/tree/main?tab=readme-ov-file#session-configuration).
-- `getAccessToken` can now be called in React Server Components.
-- By default, v4 will use [OpenID Connect's RP-Initiated Logout](https://auth0.com/docs/authenticate/login/logout/log-users-out-of-auth0) if it's enabled on the tenant. Otherwise, it will fallback to the `/v2/logout` endpoint.
