+Configuration documentation
+===========================
+
+The library can generate (and check) the documentation for model fields which are being
+configured, containing information about the names of the fields, possible values,
+default values, and a short description. This helps clients determine what can be
+configured with the help of the library and how.
+
+
+Setup
+"""""
+
+Start by defining the target directory of the docs and the template that will be used
+to render them. For example:
+
+::
+
+    DJANGO_SETUP_CONFIG_TEMPLATE_NAME = "configurations/config_doc.rst"
+    DJANGO_SETUP_CONFIG_DOC_DIR = "docs/configuration"
+
+Next, create a template:
+
+::
+
+    {% block link %}{{ link }}{% endblock %}
+
+    {% block title %}{{ title }}{% endblock %}
+
+    Settings Overview
+    =================
+
+    Enable/Disable configuration:
+    """""""""""""""""""""""""""""
+
+    ::
+
+        {% spaceless %}
+        {{ enable_settings }}
+        {% endspaceless %}
+
+    Required:
+    """""""""
+
+    ::
+
+        {% spaceless %}
+        {% for setting in required_settings %}{{ setting }}
+        {% endfor %}
+        {% endspaceless %}
+
+    All settings:
+    """""""""""""
+
+    ::
+
+        {% spaceless %}
+        {% for setting in all_settings %}{{ setting }}
+        {% endfor %}
+        {% endspaceless %}
+
+    Detailed Information
+    ====================
+
+    ::
+
+        {% spaceless %}
+        {% for detail in detailed_info %}
+        {% for part in detail %}{{ part|safe }}
+        {% endfor %}{% endfor %}
+        {% endspaceless %}
+
+You're free to choose a different layout, of course, but this should give you an idea
+of what's available, and some of the nuisances (like spacing) you might run into.
+
+The value for ``link`` is automatically create based on the ``file_name`` you defined
+in the first step. Similarly, ``enable_settings`` is automatically created. Values for
+the other template variables are determined based on the model your client is configuring,
+and a related settings model you need to define.
+
+Generally, when adding support for configuring a model ``FooConfiguration`` with
+``django-setup-configuration``, you will have a class ``FooConfigurationStep(BaseConfigurationStep)``
+that carries out the configuration. In the same file, define a class with information about
+the fields from ``FooConfiguration`` that are required, included, or excluded, and
+meta-information required for creating the docs. For example:
+
+
+::
+
+    from django-setup-configuration import ConfigSettingsModel
+
+    class FooConfigurationSettings(ConfigSettingsModel):
+        model = FooConfiguration
+        display_name = "Foo Configuration"
+        namespace = "FOO"
+        required_fields = (
+            "bar",
+            "baz",
+        )
+        included_fields =  required_fields + (
+            "foobar",
+        )
+        excluded_fields = (
+            "bogus",
+        )
+
+
+    class FooConfigurationStep(BaseConfigurationStep):
+        ...
+
+``display_name`` provides the value for ``title`` in the template above. ``namespace``
+tells you how config variables for different models are namespaced. In your settings,
+you would define ``FOO_BAR``, ``FOO_BAZ``, and ``FOO_FOOBAR``.
+
+Finally, you need to register you configuration settings class with the library:
+
+::
+
+    DJANGO_SETUP_CONFIG_REGISTER = [
+        {
+            "model": "example_project.path.to.FooConfigurationSettings",
+            "file_name": "foo_config",
+        }
+    ]
+
+
+Usage
+"""""
+
+The library provides two management commands:
+
+::
+
+    manage.py generate_config_docs [CONFIG_OPTION]
+    manage.py check_config_docs
+
+The optional ``CONFIG_OPTION`` should be a ``file_name`` (without extension) that
+corresponds to a settings model (e.g. ``foo_config``). When given,
+``generate_config_docs`` will create the docs for the corresponding model. Otherwise
+the command creates docs for all supported models. ``check_config_docs`` is similar
+to ``manage.py makemigrations --check --dry-run``: it tests that documentation for your
+configuration setup steps exists and is accurate (if you make changes to
+``FooConfiguration`` or ``FooConfigurationSettings`` without re-creating the docs,
+``check_config_docs`` will raise an exception).
