 ## Configuration
 
-Most of the time it is not necessary to edit the source code of our components as you can easily customise their behaviour through the `src/app/config.ts` config file.
+Generally it is unadvised to directly modify the source code of our pre-written components (this is hard for us to support and is prone to break).
 
-The most notable setting available in this file is the enabling of different layouts, which allows the user and you to switch between them.
-Layouts describe which components are visible and where they are on the screen.
+For this reason most components are extensively configurable through the `src/app/config.ts` file.
+These configurations range from the enabling of different layouts to how frequently should our IDE save automatically.
+
+Many configuration options are changeable dynamically using API messages sent from the backend, like so:
+
+```
+{ 
+    "key": ...component name...,
+    "data":
+    {
+        "command": ...configuration key...,
+        "value": ...
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Should you encounter any missing features, feel free to contact team TFW and we'll consider implementing them as configuration options (a common example would be making a configuration option dynamic).
 
 ### Terminal (webshell)
 
@@ -41,6 +56,21 @@ You can write to it (and thus execute commands) and read what commands were exec
 
 This enables you to pre-type or execute commands for the user and figure out what they are doing in the terminal.
 
+### Console
+
+Not unlike how a desktop IDE displays the output of your application, TFW provides a similar component as well.
+
+The console can appear in place of the terminal and allows you to display the output of a supervisor process in real time.
+
+This means that if you type `print('cats like cheese')` in your application code and run it, you will see `cats like cheese` appear on the console! Pretty neat, right?
+
+You can control the displaying of process logs to the console using the `console.rewriteContentWithProcessLogsOnDeploy` key in `config.ts`.
+The value of `stdout` or `stderr` will cause the console to display the respective stream, while an empty string will disable any automatic output to the console altogether.
+
+We recommend redirecting `stdout` and `stderr` to the same file and displaying the together.
+
+The `console.showLiveLogs` key enables real time output from the standard stream you've selected.

 ### IDE (webIde)
