## 3. Remove the Storybook scripts from your package.json

Remove the `storybook` and `build-storybook` scripts:

```auto
"scripts": {
  "dev": "next dev",
  "build": "next build",
  "start": "next start",
  "export": "next export",
  "slicemachine": "start-slicemachine --port 9999",
- "storybook": "start-storybook -p 8888",
- "build-storybook": "build-storybook"
},

```

## 4. Update the sm.json

Remove the "storybook" configuration.

```auto
{
  "apiEndpoint": "https://your-repo-name.cdn.prismic.io/api/v2",
  "libraries": [
    "@/slices"
  ],
  "_latest": "0.2.0",
- "storybook": "http://localhost:8888"
}
