 # Developer Guide
 
+## Enabling the Badge component
+
+Since version 2.0.0, this add-on uses the preview version of Badge component from Vaadin core (`com.vaadin.flow.component.badge.Badge`). As is currently an experimental feature it must be explicitly enabled in your project before using this add-on.
+
+You can enable it in one of two ways:
+
+- Through **Vaadin Copilot**, in the experimental features panel.
+- By adding the following line to `src/main/resources/vaadin-featureflags.properties` in your project:
+
+```properties
+com.vaadin.experimental.badgeComponent=true
+```
+
