-**New API**
+## How to update
 
-**New Storage System**
+v3 is basically a complete rewrite of the plugin. 
+It is not compatible with v2 and earlier versions.
+Not everything will be migrated automatically, so you will have to do some manual work.
 
-**Traits**
-Built-in traits:
+Things that will be migrated automatically:
+- Hologram data (holograms.yml)
+
+Things that will **not** be migrated automatically:
+- All configurations from config.yml
+- All configurations from featureFlags.yml
+
+The API has changed significantly, so you will have to update your code accordingly.
+Read more about the new API [here](#new-api).
+
+## New Commands
+
+## New Storage System
+
+The storage system has been completely rewritten.
+It now uses a more efficient and flexible system that allows for better performance and easier management of holograms.
+
+The file format is now JSON instead of YAML, which allows for better compatibility with other systems and easier parsing.
+
+Many of you are annoyed by the fact that the hologram data was stored in a single file (`holograms.yml`).
+If you had a lot of holograms, this file could become huge and difficult to manage.
+This has been changed in v3.
+
+The hologram data is no longer stored in a single file, but in multiple files.
+The new place for hologram data is in the `plugins/FancyHolograms/data/holograms/` folder.
+In this folder, you can create subfolders to organize your holograms.
+Every JSON file in this folder will be loaded (recursively).
+Each JSON file can contain multiple holograms, which allows for better organization and management of holograms.
+
+Example folder structure:
+
+- `plugins/FancyHolograms/data/holograms/`
+  - `rules-hologram.json`
+  - `info-hologram.json`
+  - `spawn-holograms/`
+    - `shop-holograms.json`
+    - `quest-holograms.json`
+    - `crates/`
+      - `crate1.json`
+      - `crate2.json`
+      - `crate3.json`
+  - `event-holograms/`
+    - `event1.json`
+    - `event2.json`
+    - `event3.json`
+
+Looking at one JSON file, it will look like this:
+
+```json
+[
+    {
+      first hologram ...
+    },
+    {
+      second hologram ...
+    }
+]
+```
+
+With each hologram containing the following "components":
+
+```json
+{
+  "hologram_data": { ... },
+  "display_data": { ... },
+  "text_data": { ... },
+}
+```
+
+If the hologram is a block or item hologram, it will have the `block_data` or `item_data` component instead of `text_data`.
+
+The `hologram_data` component contains the basic information about the hologram, such as its name, location and visibility.
+The `display_data` component contains the display settings for the hologram, such as its scale, shadow and billboard.
+The `text_data` component contains the text settings for the hologram, such as the text itself, text alignment and background color.
+
+## New Configuration
+
+**Disclaimer:** all configuration options do not migrate automatically. You will have to update your configuration files manually.
+
+## New API
+
+## Traits
+
+Traits are a new feature in v3 that allow you to extend the functionality of holograms.
+A trait is basically a plugin that can be added to a hologram to add new features or functionality.
+Traits have access to the hologram's data and lifecycle, allowing them to modify the hologram's behavior or appearance.
+Each trait can have its own configuration and can be enabled or disabled individually.
+
+There are several built-in traits that come with FancyHolograms v3:
 
-- `trait_trait`: Manages the hologram's traits (default)
 - `multiple_pages_trait`: Allows you to create multiple pages in a hologram
+- `interaction_trait`: Allows you to make clickable holograms (using FancyNpcs)
 - `file_content_trait`: Allows you to display the content of a file in a hologram
-- `interaction_trait`: Allows you to make clickable holograms
+
+You can also create your own traits by extending the `HologramTrait` class. 
+View the Javadocs for more information about how the `HologramTrait` class is structured.
+You can override all the `on` methods, as well as the `load` and `save` methods.
