-### <a name="existing-browser"></a>3) Using an existing browser window
+### <a name="description-prefix-suffix"></a>3) Description Prefix and Suffix
+
+You can add prefix and suffix text to your ad descriptions in two ways:
+
+#### New Format (Recommended)
+
+In your config.yaml file you can specify a `description_prefix` and `description_suffix` under the `ad_defaults` section.
+
+```yaml
+ad_defaults:
+  description_prefix: "Prefix text"
+  description_suffix: "Suffix text"
+```
+
+#### Legacy Format
+
+In your ad configuration file you can specify a `description_prefix` and `description_suffix` under the `description` section.
+
+```yaml
+description:
+  prefix: "Prefix text"
+  suffix: "Suffix text"
+```
+
+#### Precedence
+
+The new format has precedence over the legacy format. If you specify both the new and the legacy format in your config, the new format will be used. We recommend using the new format as it is more flexible and easier to manage.
+
+### <a name="existing-browser"></a>4) Using an existing browser window
 
 By default a new browser process will be launched. To reuse a manually launched browser window/process follow these steps:
