 Importing the project
 ---------------------
 
-You will need to install `Python <https://www.python.org/>`_ in your development environment
-along with `MinGW <https://www.mingw-w64.org/downloads/>`_. You will also need the Visual Studio C++ Build Tools, which
-you can install using the Visual Studio Installer. Ensure all dependencies are installed
-before you continue to the next steps.
-
 .. tip:: If you already use Visual Studio as your main IDE, you can use the same solution file in Rider.
          Rider and Visual Studio use the same solution format, so you can switch between the two IDEs without rebuilding the solution file.
          Debug configurations need to be changed when going from one IDE to another.
 
-Rider requires a solution file to work on a C++ project. While Godot does not come
-with a solution file, it can be generated using SCons.
+If you are starting from the scratch, please follow :ref:`instructions<doc_compiling_index>`, specifically:
 
-- Navigate to the Godot root folder and open a Command Prompt or PowerShell window.
-- Copy, paste and run the next command to generate the solution.
+- Install all the dependencies.
+- Figure out the scons command for compiling to target a specific platform.
 
-::
+Provide scons with additional arguments to request a solution file generation:
 
-    scons platform=windows vsproj=yes dev_build=yes
+- Add `vsproj=yes dev_build=yes` to the scons command
 
 The ``vsproj`` parameter signals that you want Visual Studio solution generated.
 The ``dev_build`` parameter makes sure the debug symbols are included, allowing to e.g. step through code using breakpoints.
 
-- If you have Rider setup as your main IDE for .sln, you can now open the project by double-clicking on the ``godot.sln`` in the project root
-  or by using the **Open** option inside of Rider.
+- Open the generated ``godot.sln`` in Rider.
 
-.. note:: Rider could fail to build the solution.
-          If that is the case, try running `git clean -xdf` to remove all traces of the previous build artifacts
-          and regenerate the build files using the `scons` command again. Restarting the terminal and your
-          development environment may help.
+.. note:: Ensure that the appropriate Solution configuration is selected on the Rider toolbar. It affects resolve of the SDKs, code analysis, build, run, etc.

+-----------------
+Debug visualizers define how complex data structures are displayed in the debugger.
