-## `cssnano` config files
+You can configure cssnano either in the PostCSS configuration file or in a dedicated cssnano configuration file. The PostCSS configuration file takes precedence over the dedicated cssnano configuration.
+If you don't pass any configuration, cssnano runs with the `default` preset.
+
+
+## Configure through PostCSS configuration files
+
+In the [PostCSS configuration file](https://github.com/postcss/postcss#usage), you can pass both the `preset` and `plugins` options when you add `cssnano` to the PostCSS plugins. For example, if you use PostCSS programmatically, the following uses cssnano with the `lite` preset and adds autoprefixer.
+
+```js
+import postcss from 'postcss';
+import cssnano from 'cssnano';
+import litePreset from 'cssnano-preset-lite';
+import autoprefixer from 'autoprefixer';
+const preset = litePreset({ discardComments: false });
+
+postcss([cssnano({ preset, plugins: [autoprefixer] })]).process("/* Your CSS here */")
+```
+
+## Configure through dedicated `cssnano` configuration
+
+If you cannot configure cssnano in the PostCSS configuration file, you can configure cssnano with a cssnano configuration option in `package.json` or with a dedicated configuration file. This file can be in different formats.
+
+* `.cssnanorc.config.json` and `.cssnanorc` must contain a JSON object
+* `cssnano.config.js` must export the configuration as a JavaScript object
 
-We use configuration for `cssnano` using file name as `cssnano.config.js` , `cssnano` property in your `package.json`, using `cssnano.config.json` and `.cssnanorc` as well.
-We are using `cosmiconfig` in order to load cssnano config. Please read [here](https://github.com/davidtheclark/cosmiconfig) for more details
 
 ## Options
 
 ### `preset`
 
 - **Type:** `string` | `function` | `[string, Objects<preset options here>]` | `[function(preset options here)]`
 
-> For `string`, the name should be of type `cssnano-preset-<name>` and you need to use `name` alone eg : `preset : ['default', {}]`
+Pass a preset to choose a pre-configured set of optimizations. You can either import the preset package or use the preset name as a string.
 
-Contains lists of `postcss` plugins where each plugin does their own minification.
+With the preset as import:
 
-- **Example:**
-
-  ```js
-  // cssnano.config.js
-  module.exports = {
-    preset: [require('cssnano-preset-default')]
-
-    // or
-    preset: require('cssnano-preset-default')
-
-    // or
-    preset: ['advanced', { discardComments: false }]
+```js
+cssnano({ preset: require('cssnano-preset-default') })
+```
+
+Using a string is useful if you use a configuration file in the JSON format.
+When you use a string, if the preset is called `cssnano-preset-<name>`, use `name` alone:
+
+```js
+cssnano({ preset: 'default' })
+```
+
+Presets themselves can take options.
+Pass options to the preset by using an array where the first element is the preset and the second is an object with the preset options. 
+You can specify a preset with the preset name as a string or by passing the result of importing the preset package.
+
+```js
+// cssnano.config.js
+module.exports = {
+  preset: [ require('cssnano-preset-default'), { discardComments: false } ]
+};
+```
+
+
+You can also pass preset options when you use the preset name as a string:
+For example, here's how to deactivate the `discardComments` plugin when using the `advanced` preset:
+
+```js
+cssnano({ preset: ['advanced', { discardComments: false }] })
+```
 
-    // or
-    preset: [require('cssnano-preset-default'), {discardComments: false}]
-  }
-  ```
 
 ### `plugins`
 
 - **Type:** `Array<'string' | 'function' | ['string' | 'function', Object<Options for the plugin here>]>`
 
-> If you want to pass config to the plugin, you need to use Array's of array for the plugins i.e `plugins: [ ['autoprefixer', {}] ]`
+In addition to the preset, you can pass a list of plugins to cssnano.
+This is equivalent to adding the plugins after cssnano in the PostCSS plugins array.
+If you want to configure the individual plugins, use an array of arrays:
 
-These plugins will run after once all presets operations are complete.
+```js
+cssnano({ plugins: [['autoprefixer', {}]] })
+```

-## Alternatives
-
-You can use the `postcss` config file and both `preset` and `plugins` will be passed as the options for `cssnano`.
