+Pre-Configuring the UI
+**********************
+
+The UI can be pre-configured using command line arguments. The following arguments are available:
+
+- ``-t, --target <target>``: Comma-separated list of targets to be compiled.
+  Choose from: *all*, *esp32*, *esp32s2*, *esp32s3*, *esp32c2*, *esp32c3*, *esp32c6*, *esp32h2*. Default: all except *esp32c2*;
+- ``--copy, --no-copy``: Enable/disable copying the compiled libraries to ``arduino-esp32``. Enabled by default;
+- ``-c, --arduino-path <path>``: Path to ``arduino-esp32`` directory. Default: OS dependent;
+- ``-A, --arduino-branch <branch>``: Branch of the ``arduino-esp32`` repository to be used. Default: set by the build script;
+- ``-I, --idf-branch <branch>``: Branch of the ``ESP-IDF`` repository to be used. Default: set by the build script;
+- ``-i, --idf-commit <commit>``: Commit of the ``ESP-IDF`` repository to be used. Default: set by the build script;
+- ``-D, --debug-level <level>``: Debug level to be set in ``ESP-IDF``.
+  Choose from: *default*, *none*, *error*, *warning*, *info*, *debug*, *verbose*. Default: *default*.
+
+Please note that all these options can be changed in the UI itself and are only used for automation purposes.
+
+Screens
+*******
+
+There are many screens in the UI that are used to configure the libraries to be compiled.
+Note that in all screens you can also use the shortcut keys shown in the footer bar to navigate.
+
+The UI consists of the following screens:
+
+- **Main Menu**: The main screen shows buttons to navigate to the other screens.
+- **Compile Screen**: The compile screen shows the output of the compilation process and any errors that may have occurred.
+- **Sdkconfig Editor**: The sdkconfig editor screen is a simple text editor that shows you the sdkconfig files that will be used for compilation.
+  You can edit the files here to customize the generated libraries.
+- **Settings Screen**: The settings screen allows you to change the settings of the compilation process.
+  Here you can change:
+
+  - The targets that the libraries will be compiled for. To save time, you can compile the libraries only for the target you are using;
+  - Whether the compiled libraries will be copied to the ``arduino-esp32`` directory after compilation so that they can be used in the Arduino IDE;
+  - The path to the ``arduino-esp32`` directory. This will be automatically set if the ``arduino-esp32`` repository is in one of the default locations.
+    If not, you can set it manually here. If using the docker image, it should not be changed as the mount point is fixed;
+  - The branch of the ``arduino-esp32`` repository to be used. This is useful if you want to compile the libraries for a
+    specific branch or pull request of the ``arduino-esp32`` repository. Leave empty to use the default branch for this ``ESP-IDF`` version;
+  - The branch of the ``ESP-IDF`` repository to be used. This is useful if you want to compile the libraries for a specific branch of the ``ESP-IDF`` repository.
+    Leave empty to use the default branch for this IDF version;
+  - The commit of the ``ESP-IDF`` repository to be used. This is useful if you want to compile the libraries for a specific commit on the selected branch.
+    Leave empty to use the latest commit;
+  - The debug level to be set in ``ESP-IDF``.
