+
+## Introduction
+
+Kedro-Viz is an interactive development tool for building data science pipelines with [Kedro](https://github.com/kedro-org/kedro). Kedro-Viz also allows users to view and compare different runs in the Kedro project.
+
+## Features
+
+- ✨ Complete visualisation of a Kedro project and its pipelines
+- 🎨 Supports light & dark themes out of the box
+- 🚀 Scales to big pipelines with hundreds of nodes
+- 🔎 Highly interactive, filterable and searchable
+- 🔬 Focus mode for modular pipeline visualisation
+- 📊 Rich metadata side panel to display parameters, plots, and more.
+- 📊 Supports all types of [Plotly charts](https://plotly.com/javascript/)
+- ♻️ Autoreload on code change
+- 🧪 Supports tracking and comparing runs in a Kedro project
+- 🎩 Many more to come
+
+## Installation
+
+- As a standalone React component (for embedding Kedro-Viz in your web application).
+
+  To install the standalone React component:
+
+  ```bash
+  npm install @quantumblack/kedro-viz
+  ```
+
+## Usage
+
+To use Kedro-Viz as a standalone React component, you can follow the example below. Please note that Kedro-Viz does not support server-side rendering (SSR). If you are using Next.js or another SSR framework, you should be aware of this limitation.
+
+```javascript
+import KedroViz from '@quantumblack/kedro-viz';
+import '@quantumblack/kedro-viz/lib/styles/styles.min.css';
+
+const MyApp = () => (
+  <div style={{height: `100vh`}}>
+    <KedroViz
+      data={json}
+      options={/* Options to configure Kedro Viz */}
+    />
+  </div>
+); 
+```
+
+To use with NextJS:
+
+```javascript
+import '@quantumblack/kedro-viz/lib/styles/styles.min.css';
+import dynamic from 'next/dynamic';
+
+const NoSSRKedro = dynamic(() => import('@quantumblack/kedro-viz'), {
+  ssr: false,
+});
+
+const MyApp = () => <NoSSRKedro data={json} />;
+```
+
+The JSON can be obtained by running:
+
+```bash
+kedro viz run --save-file=<path-to-save-kedro-viz-data-to-a-directory>
+```
+
+On successful execution of the command above, it will generate a folder at the specified directory, containing the following structure: 
+
+```
+<filename>/api/
+├── main
+├── nodes
+│   ├── 23c94afb
+│   ├── 28754fab
+│   ├── 2ab3579f
+│   ├── 329e963c
+│   ├── 369acf98
+│   └── ...
+└── pipelines
+    ├── __default__
+    ├── data_processing
+    ├── data_science
+    └── ...
+```
+
+Use the `main` file as the input JSON for the `data` prop in your Kedro-Viz component.
+
+We also recommend wrapping the `Kedro-Viz` component with a parent HTML/JSX element that has a specified height (as seen in the above example) in order for Kedro-Viz to be styled properly.
+
+**_Our documentation contains [additional examples on how to visualise with Kedro-Viz.](https://docs.kedro.org/en/stable/visualisation/index.html)_**
+
+## Configure Kedro-viz with `options`
+
+The example below demonstrates how to configure your kedro-viz using different `options`. 
+
+```
+<KedroViz
+    data={json}
+    options={
+      display: {
+        globalToolbar: true,
+        sidebar: true,
+        metadataPanel: true,
+        miniMap: true,
+        expandAllPipelines: false,
+      }
+      visible: {
+        exportBtn: true,
+        labelBtn: true,
+        layerBtn: true,
+        pipelineBtn: true,
+        sidebar: true,        
+      }
+      theme: "dark",
+      tag: {
+        enabled: {companies: true}
+      },
+      nodeType: {
+        disabled: {parameters: true}
+      }
+    }
+ /> 
+```
+
+| Name         | Type    | Default | Description |
+| ------------ | ------- | ------- | ----------- |
+| `data` | `{ edges: array (required), layers: array, nodes: array (required), tags: array }` | - | Pipeline data to be displayed on the chart |
+| options.theme | string | dark | select `Kedro-Viz` theme : dark/light |
+| options.tag | `{enabled: {<tagName>: boolean}}` | - | Configuration for tag options |
+| options.nodeType | `{disabled: {parameters: boolean,task: boolean,data: boolean}}` | `{disabled: {parameters: true,task: false,data: false}}` | Configuration for node type options |
+| options.display |  |  |  |
+| `globalToolbar` | boolean | true | Show/Hide Global Toolbar |
+| `miniMap` | boolean | true | Show/Hide Mini Map button |
+| `expandAllPipelines` | boolean | false | Expand/Collapse modular pipelines on first load |
+| `metadataPanel` | boolean | true | Show/Hide Metadata Panel |
+| `sidebar` | boolean | true | Show/Hide sidebar and primary toolbar |
+| options.visible |  |  |  |
+| `labelBtn` | boolean | true | Show/Hide label button |
+| `layerBtn` | boolean | true | Show/Hide layer button |
+| `exportBtn` | boolean | true | Show/Hide export button |
+| `pipelineBtn` | boolean | true | Show/Hide pipeline button |
+| `sidebar` | boolean | true | Expand/Collapse Sidebar |
+
+All components are annotated to understand their positions in the Kedro-Viz UI.

+
+## Standalone Example Repository
+
+We have created a [kedro-viz-standalone](https://github.com/kedro-org/kedro-viz-standalone.git) repository to demonstrate how to use Kedro-Viz in standalone mode or embedded in a React application.
+
+This repository provides a fully functional example of Kedro-Viz, showcasing how to integrate it into your projects. The example includes setup instructions and demonstrates various features of Kedro-Viz.
+
+To get started, clone the repository, install the dependencies and run the example React application:
+
+```
+git clone https://github.com/kedro-org/kedro-viz-standalone.git
+cd kedro-viz-standalone
+npm install
+npm start
+```
+
+## Feature Flags
+
+Kedro-Viz uses feature flags to roll out some experimental features. We have the following flags -
+
+| Flag               | Description                                                                             |
+| ------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| sizewarning        | From release v3.9.1. Show a warning before rendering very large graphs (default `true`) |
+| expandAllPipelines | From release v4.3.2. Expand all modular pipelines on first load (default `false`)       |
+
+To enable or disable a flag, click on the settings icon in the toolbar and toggle the flag on/off.
+
+Kedro-Viz also logs a message in your browser's [developer console](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/Common_questions/What_are_browser_developer_tools#The_JavaScript_console) to show the available flags and their values as currently set on your machine.
