-# Examples
-
-Here are examples of how to configure features In EMQX,  most of them can be used directly by copy-paste content into the `emqx.conf` file, others may need to be slightly modified to use, for example, you should change the listener port or HTTP URL to what you actually used.
-
-Although we have tried to show every configurable field in the example,
-you do not need to care about each one, since most of them already have default values and can be omitted in the configuration file.
-
-If you are confused about some fields, please refer to our documents, here are just some simple configuration examples with necessary descriptions.
-
-
-## Documentation
-
-The EMQX documentation is available at [www.emqx.io/docs/en/latest/](https://www.emqx.io/docs/en/latest/).

+# Examples
+
+Here are examples of how to configure EMQX.
+The main purpose of the examples are to serve as a reference for configuration layout and syntax, but not a guide to how to configure EMQX.
+For more information about EMQX configuration, please refer to EMQX documentation (links below).
+
+There are two ways to extend the configuration of EMQX:
+
+* By adding the configs to `emqx.conf` file.
+* By adding the configs to a new file and include it in `emqx.conf` file. For example, add `include "mylisteners.conf"` to `emqx.conf` file and add the listeners to `mylisteners.conf`.
+
+EMQX configuration consists of two parts: static configs and dynamic configs.
+
+* Configs loaded from `emqx.conf` (and included files) are static configs.
+* Configs added or updated from the dashboard or CLI are dynamic configs which are synced to all nodes in the cluster and stored in the data directory on each node.
+
+It is important to note that static configs are loaded when EMQX starts and overlays on top of the dynamic configs,
+to avoid confusion, it is highly recommended NOT to use the same config name for both static and dynamic configs.
+
+## Documentation
+
+The EMQX documentation is available at [www.emqx.io/docs/en/latest/](https://www.emqx.io/docs/en/latest/).
+
+The EMQX Enterprise documentation is available at [docs.emqx.com/en/](https://docs.emqx.com/en/).
