+In case of standalone qubes and templates, just change the Disk Storage settings above. If the standalone fails to start, temporarily increase the `qrexec_timeout`, [as described here](https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/9251#issuecomment-2121596415).
+
 In case of template-based qubes, the private storage (the /home directory and user files) can be changed in the qube's own settings, but the system root image is [inherited from the template](/doc/getting-started/), and so it must be changed in the template settings.
 If you are increasing the disk image size for Linux-based qubes installed from Qubes OS repositories in Qubes 4.0 or later, changing the settings above is all you need to do - in other cases, you may need to do more, according to instructions below.
 See also the OS-specific follow-up instructions below.
