-The configuration that you have in your `.eslintrc` file is an important part of your project, and as such, you may want to share it with other projects or people. Shareable configs allow you to publish your configuration settings on [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/) and have others download and use it in their ESLint projects.
+To share your `.eslintrc` file, create a **shareable config**. You can publish your shareable config on [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/) so that others can download and use it in their ESLint projects.

 ## Creating a Shareable Config
 
-Shareable configs are simply npm packages that export a configuration object. To start, [create a Node.js module](https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/creating-node-modules) like you normally would. Make sure the module name begins with `eslint-config-`, such as `eslint-config-myconfig`.

 ## Publishing a Shareable Config

 ## Using a Shareable Config
 
-Shareable configs are designed to work with the `extends` feature of `.eslintrc` files. Instead of using a file path for the value of `extends`, use your module name. For example:

 ## Sharing Multiple Configs
 
-It's possible to share multiple configs in the same npm package. You can specify a default config for the package by following the directions in the first section. You can specify additional configs by simply adding a new file to your npm package and then referencing it from your ESLint config.
