+### Custom snippet directories
+
+To organize snippets in custom locations, add the `snippets` property to your `docs.json` with an array of glob patterns. Patterns use [minimatch](https://github.com/isaacs/minimatch) syntax:
+
+```json docs.json
+{
+  "snippets": ["components/**", "shared/reusable/**"]
+}
+```
+
+This configuration allows you to import snippets from the specified directories in addition to the default `/snippets/` folder:
+
+```typescript destination-file.mdx
+import Alert from '../components/Alert.mdx';
+import Banner from '../shared/reusable/Banner.mdx';
+import DefaultSnippet from '../snippets/my-snippet.mdx';
+```
+
+## Creating a custom snippet
+
+**Pre-condition**: Your snippet file must be in the `/snippets/` directory or a [custom snippet directory](#custom-snippet-directories) you've configured.
