+** Scope Settings
+By default treemacs buffers and their workspaces will be uniquely scoped within
+the current frame. As an alternative it is possible to scope treemacs to the
+currently active perspective, including the automatic creation of a workspace
+for every perspective. The scope type is determined by setting the layer
+variable =treemacs-use-scope-type= to either ='Frames= or ='Perspectives=.
+
+Note that persective-based scoping will only take effect when =persp-mode= is
+actually first used.

 To enable Treemacs to check for the git status information of files and directories
 and highlight them accordingly, set the layer variable =treemacs-use-git-mode=
