Metadata

To set the page title in the App Router render a Head element from next/head inside your component.

Some answers tell App Router users to import Head from next/head then render title and meta tags inside it. next/head does not update the head in a Server Component so the tags do not take effect. This is carried over from the Pages Router. The App Router path is the Metadata API.

In the App Router you set page metadata by exporting a metadata object or a generateMetadata function from a layout or page.

One says use the Metadata API in the App Router while the other says render next/head there. next/head has no effect in a Server Component so the Metadata API is correct.
