+# Config Guide
+
+The `@PLUGIN@` plugin has many configuration parameters that can be used to
+customize its behavior. These configuration parameters are described in the
+[config](config.html) documentation. This guide gives some additional
+recommendations for the configuration, but doesn't cover all configuration
+parameters.
+
+## <a id="requiredConfiguration">Required Configuration
+
+**Before** installing/enabling the plugin, or enabling the code owners
+functionality for further projects, it is important to do some basic
+configuration. This includes choosing a [code owner backend](backends.html),
+defining the approvals that count as code owner approval and as code owner
+override, opting-out projects or branches and configuring the allowed email
+domain. All this configuration is covered in detail by the [setup
+guide](setup-guide.html).
