+From `kedro-datasets` version 3.0.0 onwards, the names of the optional dataset-level dependencies have been normalised to follow [PEP 685](https://peps.python.org/pep-0685/). The '.' character has been replaced with a '-' character and the names are in lowercase. For example, if you had `kedro-datasets[pandas.ExcelDataset]` in your requirements file, it would have to be changed to `kedro-datasets[pandas-exceldataset]`.

+## Reproducible environments
+To ensure that the project dependencies and the transitive dependencies are pinned to specific versions, use [`pip-tools`](https://pypi.org/project/pip-tools/) to compile `requirements.txt` file into a `requirements.lock` file.
+To install `pip-tools` in your virtual environment, run the following command:
+
+```bash
+pip install pip-tools
+```
+
+To add or remove dependencies to a project, edit the `requirements.txt` file, then run the following:
+
+```bash
+pip-compile <project_root>/requirements.txt --output-file <project_root>/requirements.lock
+```
+
+This will [pip compile](https://github.com/jazzband/pip-tools#example-usage-for-pip-compile) the requirements listed in the `requirements.txt` file into a `requirements.lock` that specifies a list of pinned project dependencies(those with a strict version). You can also use this command with additional CLI arguments such as `--generate-hashes`
+to use `pip`'s Hash Checking Mode or `--upgrade-package` to update specific packages to the latest or specific versions.
+[Check out the `pip-tools` documentation](https://pypi.org/project/pip-tools/) for more information.
+
+```{note}
+The `requirements.txt` file contains "source" requirements, while `requirements.lock` contains the compiled version of those and requires no manual updates. If you need to update the dependencies, update the `requirements.txt` file and re-run the `pip-compile` command.
