+The default power levels for each preset are:
+```yaml
+"m.room.name": 50
+"m.room.power_levels": 100
+"m.room.history_visibility": 100
+"m.room.canonical_alias": 50
+"m.room.avatar": 50
+"m.room.tombstone": 100
+"m.room.server_acl": 100
+"m.room.encryption": 100
+```
+
+So a complete example where the default power-levels for a preset are maintained
+but the power level for a new key is set is:
+```yaml
+default_power_level_content_override:
+   private_chat:
+    events:
+      "com.example.foo": 0
+      "m.room.name": 50
+      "m.room.power_levels": 100
+      "m.room.history_visibility": 100
+      "m.room.canonical_alias": 50
+      "m.room.avatar": 50
+      "m.room.tombstone": 100
+      "m.room.server_acl": 100
+      "m.room.encryption": 100
+   trusted_private_chat: null
+   public_chat: null
+```
