 ## Using HLS on HLS code
 
-Generally, project now should work without any `hie.yaml` configuration placed.
+Project source code is made to load without any `hie.yaml` configuration placed. If to say - implicit detection of configuration should work now.
 
 In other cases:
-1. If there are `hie.yaml` (& `hie.yml`) files - try to backup them, remove & load project without them.
-2. Note that many subdirectories of a project are in itself are subprojects, & if main project needs special configuration - they need be hooked-up also.
+1. Check if `hie.yaml` (& `hie.yml`) files left from previous efforts to configure.
+2. Note that many subdirectories of a project are in itself are subprojects, & if main project needs special configuration - they probably need also.
 
-In implicit configuration detection does not work & to create a mock configuration for all projects - use [implicit-hie](https://github.com/Avi-D-coder/implicit-hie) generator directly to put configuration explicitly - it would add configuarations for all projects at once by:

 [Configuring project build](../configuration.md#configuring-your-project-build) applies to HLS project source code loading just as to any other.
