+## Getting the example app to work with a tutor dev environment
+
+Part of the example app functionality includes an API request to get the logged in user's profile information. This request will fail by default due to CORS restrictions. To overcome this, patch `openedx-lms-development-settings` with the following settings (via a tutor plugin):
+
+```python
+# Used for the example app in the frontend-plugin library
+CORS_ORIGIN_WHITELIST.append("http://local.openedx.io:8080")
+LOGIN_REDIRECT_WHITELIST.append("local.openedx.io:8080")
+CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS.append("http://local.openedx.io:8080")
+```
+
+Make sure the plugin is installed, enabled, and then run `tutor dev restart lms` to make sure the new configiration is picked up.

 # Production Deployment Strategy
 
 For any MFE built on top of the frontend-platform, the deployment strategy will be something like the following:
