 - Create a folder where you want your files to be monitored. This is your 'watched folder'.

-

 ## Handling Untranslatable Strings
 
 Sometimes, certain strings in the properties file may not require translation because they are the same in the target language or are universal (like names of protocols, certain terminologies, etc.). To ensure accurate statistics for language progress, these strings should be added to the `ignore_translation.toml` file located in the `scripts` directory. This will exclude them from the translation progress calculations.

 ## Language Packs
 
 Tesseract OCR supports a variety of languages. You can find additional language packs in the Tesseract GitHub repositories:

+### Extra notes
 
+- Endpoints. Currently, the endpoints ENDPOINTS_TO_REMOVE and GROUPS_TO_REMOVE can include comma separate lists of endpoints and groups to disable as example ENDPOINTS_TO_REMOVE=img-to-pdf,remove-pages would disable both image-to-pdf and remove pages, GROUPS_TO_REMOVE=LibreOffice Would disable all things that use LibreOffice. You can see a list of all endpoints and groups [here](https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF/blob/main/Endpoint-groups.md)
+- customStaticFilePath. Customise static files such as the app logo by placing files in the /customFiles/static/ directory. An example of customising app logo is placing a /customFiles/static/favicon.svg to override current SVG. This can be used to change any images/icons/css/fonts/js etc in Stirling-PDF

 ### Prerequisites
 
-- User must have the folder `./configs` volumed within Docker so that it is retained during updates.
-- Docker users must download the security jar version by setting `DOCKER_ENABLE_SECURITY` to `true` in environment variables.
-- Then either enable login via the `settings.yml` file or set `SECURITY_ENABLE_LOGIN` to `true`.
-- Now the initial user will be generated with username `admin` and password `stirling`. On login, you will be forced to change the password to a new one. You can also use the environment variables `SECURITY_INITIALLOGIN_USERNAME` and `SECURITY_INITIALLOGIN_PASSWORD` to set your own credentials straight away (recommended to remove them after user creation).
