 ## Configuration
 
-You can use `config.json` file to configure synapse-admin
+You can use `config.json` file to configure Synapse Admin instance,
+and `/.well-known/matrix/client` file to provide Synapse Admin configuration specifically for your homeserver.
+In the latter case, any instance of Synapse Admin will automatically pick up the configuration from the homeserver.
+Note that configuration inside the `/.well-known/matrix/client` file should go under the `cc.etke.synapse-admin` key,
+and it will override the configuration from the `config.json` file.
 
 The `config.json` can be injected into a Docker container using a bind mount.
