 ### Working with the Monorepo
+
 This section offers guidance for developers working within the monorepo environment, which utilizes npm for package management.
 
 #### Navigation:
 
-* Use your terminal or IDE to navigate the file structure.
-* To locate a specific project, navigate to its directory within the packages folder. For example, `cd packages/faustwp-core` would take you to the `faustwp-core` project directory.

 #### Building and Deploying:
 
-* We use npm for managing dependencies and running build scripts.
-* Individual projects often have their own package.json file with project-specific scripts for building and deploying. You can run these scripts using commands like `npm run build` or `npm run test` within the project directory (e.g., `packages/faustwp-core`).
-* Refer to the project's README file or internal documentation for specific build and deploy instructions.
-For deploying the entire monorepo, there might be a top-level build script which you can invoke with `npm run build`.
