+      
+      When connecting to an Atlas cluster, you must specify the database that
+      you want to interact with as the default database in your connection string.
+      You must add the database name to your connection string **after the hostname**.
+      
+      The following example specifies the ``sample_restaurants`` target database
+      in a sample connection string:
+
+      .. code-block:: none
+
+         mongodb+srv://user0:pass123@mongo0.example.com/sample_restaurants
+
+   .. step:: Specify connection
+
+      At the root level of your project, create a ``config`` directory.
+      Then, create a file in this directory called ``mongoid.yml``.
+      
+      Paste the following configuration into the ``mongoid.yml`` file,
+      making sure to replace the ``<connection string>`` placeholder
+      with your connection string that references the target database:
+
+      .. code-block:: yaml
+         :emphasize-lines: 4
+
+         development:
+           clients:
+             default:
+               uri: <connection string>
+
+After completing these steps, your Sinatra web application is ready to
+connect to MongoDB.
