+.SH CONFIGURATION
+.SS "Fetch Structure"
+The structure defines which modules to display and in what order. It consists of module names separated by colons (:).
+For example: \fBtitle:separator:os:kernel:uptime\fR
+
+To list all available modules, use \fB\-\-list\-modules\fR
+
+.SS "Config Files"
+
+Fastfetch uses JSONC for configuration files. JSONC is JSON with support for comments (// and /* */). Configuration files must have the .jsonc extension.
+
+You can generate a default config file using \fB\-\-gen\-config\fR. By default, the config file is saved at \fB~/.config/fastfetch/config.jsonc\fR.
+
+The configuration/preset files are searched in the following locations (in order):
+
+.RS
+.IP 1. 4
+Relative to the current working directory
+.IP 2. 4
+Relative to ~/.local/share/fastfetch/presets/
+.IP 3. 4
+Relative to /usr/share/fastfetch/presets/
+.RE
+
+For detailed information on logo options, module configuration, and formatting, visit:
+.RS
+\fIhttps://github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch/wiki/Configuration\fR
+.RE
+
+Fastfetch provides several built-in presets. List them with \fB\-\-list\-presets\fR.
+
+.SS "JSON Schema"
+A JSON schema is available for editor intelligence when editing the configuration file. Add the following line at the beginning of your config file:
+.PP
+\fB"$schema": "https://github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch/raw/dev/doc/json_schema.json"\fR
