+### Configuration
+
+This module provides some configuration options:
+
+#### useRelativeSnapshots
+Set to true in order to store your snapshots for each test run next to the inital test caller rather
+than at the base working directory.
+
+**Note:** requires the `readFileMaybe` plugin to be configured see https://on.cypress.io/task#Read-a-file-that-might-not-exist
+
+#### snapshotFileName
+Set to a string to name your snapshot something other than 'snapshots.js'
+
+#### Usage
+Set the configuration options as part of the Cypress config.
+See https://docs.cypress.io/guides/references/configuration.html
+
