-Using settings_user.yml
-=======================
+Customize your settings: create your settings_user.yml
+======================================================
 
-TBD
+Please, first of all, clone the sources to recreate this project. You can find them in the
+`examples2.0 repository <https://github.com/conan-io/examples2>`_ in GitHub:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $ git clone https://github.com/conan-io/examples2.git
+    $ cd examples2/examples/config_files/settings
+
+
+In this example we are going to see how to customize your settings without overwriting the original **settings.yml** file.
+
+.. note::
+
+    To understand better this example, it is highly recommended to read previously the reference
+    about :ref:`reference_config_files_settings_yml`.
+
+
+Locate the settings_user.yml
+----------------------------
+
+First of all, let's have a look at the proposed ``source/settings_user.yml``:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+    :caption: **settings_user.yml**
+
+    os:
+        webOS:
+            sdk_version: [null, "7.0.0", "6.0.1", "6.0.0"]
+    arch: ["cortexa15t2hf"]
+    compiler:
+        gcc:
+            version: ["13.0-rc"]
+
+
+As you can see, we don't have to rewrite all the settings because they will be merged with the already defined in
+**settings.yml**.
+
+Then, what are we adding through that ``settings_user.yml`` file?
+
+* New OS: ``webOS``, and its sub-setting: ``sdk_version``.
+* New ``arch`` available: ``cortexa15t2hf``.
+* New gcc version: ``13.0-rc``.
+
+Now, it's time to copy the file ``source/settings_user.yml`` into your ``[CONAN_HOME]/`` folder:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $ conan config install sources/settings_user.yml
+    Copying file settings_user.yml to /Users/myuser/.conan2/.
+
+
+Use your new settings
+---------------------
+
+After having copied the ``settings_user.yml``, you should be able to use them for your recipes. Add this simple one
+into your local folder:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+    :caption: **conanfile.py**
+
+    from conan import ConanFile
+
+    class PkgConan(ConanFile):
+        name = "pkg"
+        version = "1.0"
+        settings = "os", "compiler", "build_type", "arch"
+
+
+Then, create several Conan packages (not binaries, as it does not have any source file for sure) to see
+that it's working correctly:
+
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+    :caption: **Using the default settings**
+    :emphasize-lines: 33

+As you could observe, each command has created a different package. That was completely right because we were using
+different settings for each one. Try any other custom setting!
