+# Multi-Directory Support
+
+To work with multiple notes directories, add them to `directories`:
+
+```lua
+require('simple-denote').setup({
+  dir = "~/notes",                              -- default active directory
+  directories = { "~/notes", "~/work", "~/projects" },
+})
 ```
 
+Use `:Denote dir` to select a directory. The active directory is exposed as `vim.g.denote_dir` so other plugins can read it.
+
+When `directories` is empty (the default), nothing changes and the plugin works identically so I don't break anything for anyone who happens to be using this.
