+Layout can be configured by choosing a specific `layout_strategy` and
+specifying a particular `layout_config` for that strategy.
+For more details on available strategies and configuration options,
+see `:help telescope.layout`.
+
+Some options for configuring sizes in layouts are "resolvable".
+This means that they can take different forms, and will be interpreted differently according to which form they take.
+For example, if we wanted to set the `width` of a picker using the `vertical`
+layout strategy to 50% of the screen width, we would specify that width
+as `0.5`, but if we wanted to specify the `width` to be exactly 80
+characters wide, we would specify it as `80`.
+For more details on resolving sizes, see `:help telescope.resolve`.
+
+As an example, if we wanted to specify the layout strategy and width,
+but only for this instance, we could do something like:
+```
+:lua require('telescope.builtin').find_files({layout_strategy='vertical',layout_config={width=0.5}})
+```
+or if we wanted to change the width for every time we use the `vertical`
+layout strategy, we could add the following to our `setup()` call:
+```
+require('telescope').setup({
+  defaults = {
+    layout_config = {
+      vertical = { width = 0.5 }
+      -- other layout configuration here
+    },
+    -- other defaults configuration here
+  },
+  -- other configuration values here
+})
 ```
