 ### snapshotSavePath
 
 The snapshotSavePath defines the directory, where the snapshots are saved. If you use any Version Control Software like Git, make sure not to ignore this folder.
 
-## annotationKey
+### annotationKey
 
 The annotationKey can be set, if you want to use another name to annotate test cases. Since the syntax of the cases is the same used for the [Monocle Styleguide](https://github.com/sitegeist/Sitegeist.Monocle), you can use the styleguide annotation for the testing as well.
 
+### exclude.packageKeys
+
+You can exclude certain packages from the snapshot testing. 
+This is useful if you have packages that are not relevant for the snapshot testing.
+
 ## Annotating Test Cases
 
 As long as the annotation ist present, the component is tested in a pure version, which uses the basic props of the Fusion Component.
