 ### Monorepos
 
+#### Separate packages
+
+In repos with multiple packages, the `--cwd` option comes in handy. With similar package structures, the packages can be
+configured conveniently using globs:
+
+```json
+{
+  "packages/*": {
+    "entryFiles": ["src/index.ts"],
+    "filePatterns": ["src/**/*.{ts,tsx}", "!**/*.spec.{ts,tsx}"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Packages can also be explicitly configured per package directory. To scan the packages separately, using the first match
+from the configuration file:
+
+```
+exportman --cwd packages/client --config exportman.json
+exportman --cwd packages/services --config exportman.json
+```
+
+#### Connected projects (e.g. using Nx)
+
 A good example of a large project setup is a monorepo, such as created with Nx. Let's take an example project
 configuration for an Nx project using Next.js, Jest and Storybook:
