+## Snippets
+
+Snippets are a way to save common configuration separately when it applies to multiple different applications.
+
+More documentation is available from [Zephyr](https://docs.zephyrproject.org/3.5.0/build/snippets/index.html).
+
+Enable snippets with `-S <snippet>` for local builds, for example:
+
+```sh
+west build -b nrfmicro_13_52833 -S nrf52833-nosd -- -DSHIELD=corne_left
+```
+
+Or by adding `snippet: <snippet>` to your `build.yaml` for the appropriate board:
+
+```yaml
+- board: nrfmicro_13_52833
+  snippet: nrf52833-nosd
+  shield: corne_left
+```
+
+ZMK implements the following snippets:

+Definition: [zmk/app/snippets/nrf52833-nosd](https://github.com/zmkfirmware/zmk/blob/main/app/snippets/nrf52833-nosd)
+
+On memory-constrained nRF52833 boards this snippet will extend the code partition to overwrite the Nordic SoftDevice.
+This gives 428KB for the code partition as opposed to 280KB with the Nordic SoftDevice.
+
+The added memory allows the nRF52833 to fit displays and other memory-intensive features.
+
+:::danger
+Erasing the SoftDevice will prevent the board from using firmware built without the snippet.
+
+Flashing such firmware **will** totally brick the board, disabling the USB flashing functionality.
+The only way to restore functionality after that is to re-flash the bootloader.
+
+Re-flashing a bootloader built without the SoftDevice will require firmware built with this snippet.
