+### Addon-backgrounds preset
+
+In 6.1 we introduced an unintentional breaking change to `addon-backgrounds`.
+
+The addon uses decorators which are set up automatically by a preset. The required preset is ignored if you register the addon in `main.js` withe the the `/register` entry point. This used to be valid in `v6.0.x` and earlier:
+```js
+module.exports = {
+  stories: ['../**/*.stories.js'],
+  addons: ['@storybook/addon-backgrounds/register'],
+};
+```
+
+To fix it, just replace `@storybook/addon-backgrounds/register` with `@storybook/addon-backgrounds`:
+
+```js
+module.exports = {
+  stories: ['../**/*.stories.js'],
+  addons: ['@storybook/addon-backgrounds'],
+};
+```
