+## Configure code to analyze
+
+You can configure which _output assembly kinds_ to apply this rule to. For example, to only apply this rule to code that produces a console application or a dynamically linked library (that is, not a UI app), add the following key-value pair to an *.editorconfig* file in your project:
+
+```ini
+dotnet_code_quality.CA1515.output_kind = ConsoleApplication, DynamicallyLinkedLibrary
+```
