+### Automatic sidebar group labels
+
+When using the automatic sidebar grouping feature (based on subdirectories), the titles of the groups are generated from the directory names.
+If these are not to your liking, for example if you need to use special characters, you can override them in the Docs configuration file.
+The array key is the directory name, and the value is the label.
+
+Please note that this option is not added to the config file by default, as it's not a super common use case. No worries though, just add the following yourself!
+
+```php
+// Filepath: config/docs.php
+
+'sidebar_group_labels' => [
+    'questions-and-answers' => 'Questions & Answers',
+],
+```
+
+
 ### Table of contents settings
 
 In the `config/docs.php` file you can configure the behavior, content, and the look and feel of the sidebar table of contents.
