 ## Overrides

Overrides are the much more powerful version of exceptions, with the ability to customize ruleset usage for different files and projects without having to duplicate any rules.

 ### Caveats

 Overrides are only applied to the _root_ documents. If your documents have any external dependencies ($refs), the overrides won't apply.

+#### Extended Rulesets (extends)
+
+Overrides aren't supported in other files through [extended rulesets (`extends`)](4b-extends.md). For example, if you create a ruleset file (`rulesetA`) that includes another file (`rulesetB`) through `extends`, overrides are ignored if you apply them to `rulesetB`.
+
+However, you can use JS rulesets to inherit overrides. This example shows how to apply an override in `rulesetB`:

+```JavaScript
+import rulesetA from './ruleset';

+export default {
+  extends: rulesetA,
+  overrides: rulesetA.overrides,
