+## Known Limitations
+
+As of Nuxt v3.3, the `app.config.ts` file is shared with Nitro, which results in the following limitations:
+
+1. You cannot import Vue components directly in `app.config.ts`.
+2. Some auto-imports are not available in the Nitro context.
+
+These limitations occur because Nitro processes the app config without full Vue component support.
+
+While it's possible to use Vite plugins in the Nitro config as a workaround, this approach is not recommended:
+
+```ts [nuxt.config.ts]
+export default defineNuxtConfig({
+  nitro: {
+    vite: {
+      plugins: [vue()]
+    }
+  }
+})
+```
+
+::warning
+Using this workaround may lead to unexpected behavior and bugs. The Vue plugin is one of many that are not available in the Nitro context.
