+# Internal Documentation
+
+This section covers implementation documentation for various parts of Synapse.
+
+If a developer is planning to make a change to a feature of Synapse, it can be useful for
+general documentation of how that feature is implemented to be available. This saves the
+developer time in place of needing to understand how the feature works by reading the
+code.
+
+Documentation that would be more useful for the perspective of a system administrator,
+rather than a developer who's intending to change to code, should instead be placed
+under the Usage section of the documentation.
