 ## How to customize toolbars
 
+### Understanding Presets
+
+> **Important:** The editor uses two independent types of presets:
+
+1. **Editor Preset** (`MarkdownEditorPreset`) - Defines the set of extensions and functionality available in the WYSIWYG editor. Configured via the `preset` property when initializing the editor.
+   - Available values: `'zero'`, `'commonmark'`, `'default'`, `'yfm'`, `'full'`
+   - Example: `useMarkdownEditor({ preset: 'default' })`
+
+2. **Toolbar Preset** (`ToolbarsPreset`) - Defines which buttons appear in the toolbars and their order.
+   - Configured via the **optional** `toolbarsPreset` property in the `MarkdownEditorView` component
+   - Example: `<MarkdownEditorView toolbarsPreset={customToolbarPreset} />`
+
+**How toolbar preset is determined:**
+
+- **If `toolbarsPreset` is NOT provided** – automatically uses the toolbar preset matching the editor preset name
+- **If `toolbarsPreset` is provided** – uses your custom toolbar configuration
+
+For example:
+```ts
+// Editor preset is 'default', toolbar preset is also 'default' (automatic)
+const editor = useMarkdownEditor({ preset: 'default' });
+<MarkdownEditorView editor={editor} />
+
+// Editor preset is 'default', but toolbar preset is custom (override)
+const editor = useMarkdownEditor({ preset: 'default' });
+<MarkdownEditorView editor={editor} toolbarsPreset={myCustomToolbar} />
+```
+

 ### Customizing the Toolbar
 
-The library provides a set of predefined presets that cannot be overridden directly. If none of the built-in presets suit your needs, you can define a custom toolbar configuration. Below is an example of how to do that:

+#### Step 2: Use your custom toolbar preset with the editor

+import {toolbarPresets} from './your-toolbar-presets';
+
+function MyEditor() {

+
+> **Key point:** By providing `toolbarsPreset`, you override the default toolbar configuration. Without it, the editor would use the built-in `'default'` toolbar preset (matching the editor preset name).

 ### Conditional Toolbar Items
 
 Sometimes you may want to display different sets of toolbar items depending on certain conditions—for example, user permissions. In such cases, you can implement a getter function that returns the appropriate toolbar configuration based on parameters. Example:
