+## Control when child/parent pages are regenerated in cache actions
+
+There are two configurations available, and they can both be set to one of three available values:
+
+* `regenerate_children`
+  * `none`: Do not regenerate any children
+  * `direct`: Regenerate only one level below (direct children, but not grandchildren, etc)
+  * `recursive`: Regenerate all children recursively (grandchildren, great-gc, etc)
+* `regenerate_parents`
+  * `none`: Do not regenerate any parents
+  * `direct`: Regenerate only one level above (the direct parent)
+  * `recursive`: Regenerate all parents recursively (up to the top of the SiteTree)
+
+**Please note:** There are times when these configurations are ignored. For example, if you use Silverstripe's default
+behaviour and have `SiteTree::enforce_strict_hierarchy = true`, then this means that parent pages must be published for
+anyone to be able to view child pages. If you were to unpublish a parent page in the CMS, then default CMS behaviour
+would be for all child pages to also become unavailable to your users. As such, if you unpublish a page, then regardless
+of what your `regenerate_children` configuration is, we will always remove the cache of all of the child pages - as this
+matches the behaviour that the CMS follows.
