SDK 21.6 changed the way of how Next.js handles Personalize integration:
- The integration now uses the new Cloud SDK.
- Removed the nextjs-personalize add-on; Personalize integration is now part of the XM Cloud add-on.
- Removed support for custom Point of Sale resolution.
- Changes to how event configuration is handled: these are now controlled using the Cloud SDK.
- Removed these environment variables, using Context ID instead:

So, what is that Sitecore Context? Support for Sitecore Context is a simplified way of handling your front-end integration with XM Cloud. Sitecore Context includes all the variables you need for your integration, such as site identifiers and Experience Edge endpoints. Instead of passing a multitude of environment variables, you now only include the Context ID variable, and the other variables are handled automatically.
The JSS GraphQL Layout and Dictionary services now use Sitecore Context ID as well, if available, instead of the Sitecore API Key.

This change is so big that Sitecore has to rework documentation into the legacy one (for 21.5.* and earlier) and the default one for 21.6 and newer. You can now access XM Cloud JSS documentation by clicking Developers > JSS for XM Cloud 21.6 in the menu bar. If you want to open documentation for 21.5, use the version menu in the top-right corner.
