+### Debugging a local build
+Rebuilding the solution in debug mode will copy the SMAPI files into your game directory. Starting
+the `StardewModdingAPI` project with debugging will launch SMAPI with the debugger attached, so you

 ### Preparing a release
 To prepare a crossplatform SMAPI release, you'll need to compile it on two platforms. See
