 ##### Pattern States
 You can set the state of a pattern by including it in `config.json` too. The out of the box styles are in progress (orange), in review (yellow), and complete (green).
 Pattern states should be lowercase and use hyphens where spaces are present.

+##### Pattern Export
+`config.json` also has two properties that work together to export completed patterns for use in a production environment. Provide an array of keys and an output directory. Pattern Lab doesn't ship with any pattern export keys, but the default directory is `"./pattern_exports/"` created inside the install directory. 
+
+```
+"patternExportKeys": ["molecules-primary-nav", "organisms-header", "organisms-header"],
+"patternExportDirectory": "./pattern_exports/"
+```
+
+Coupled with exported css (much easier to extract with existing tools like [grunt-contrib-copy](https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-copy)), pattern export can help to maintain the relevancy of the design system by directly placing partials in a directory of your choosing.

+
+##### Verbose Mode
+`patternlab.json` is a file created for debugging purposes. Set `debug` to true in `.config.json` to see all the secrets.
+
 ##### Server
 Running `grunt serve` will compile the patternlab front end and host it on <a href="http://localhost:9001">http://localhost:9001</a> by default. Page will reload on any saved source code change.
