+### Common Pitfalls
+
+Avoid these common mistakes when contributing:
+
+1. **Forgetting Get.ps1**: When adding a new command-line parameter, contributors often remember to add it to `Win11Debloat.ps1` but forget to add the same parameter to `Scripts/Get.ps1`. Both files **must** have matching parameters.
+
+2. **Missing Registry Files**: Always create an `Undo` registry file for reversibility, aswell as a `Sysprep` registry file for Sysprep mode.
+
+3. **Incorrect Registry Hives for Sysprep**: Sysprep registry files apply changes to all new users and must use `hkey_users\default` instead of `HKEY_CURRENT_USER`. Ensure you update **all** registry keys in the file.
+
+4. **Wrong Registry File Location**: 
+   - Main action files go in `Regfiles/`
+   - Undo files go in `Regfiles/Undo/`
+   - Sysprep files go in `Regfiles/Sysprep/`
+   
+   Placing files in the wrong directory will cause the script to fail when trying to apply or undo changes.
+
+6. **Not Testing Undo Functionality**: Always test that your undo registry file properly reverts all changes. A feature that can't be undone will frustrate users.
+
+7. **Not Testing User/Sysprep Functionality**: Always test that your feature works when applied to another user or to the Windows default user with Sysprep. Sysprep changes can be tested by creating new users after running the script.
+
+7. **Missing Null Category**: Features without a `Category` field (set to `null`) won't appear in the GUI. This is intentional for command-line-only features, make sure this is what you want before submitting.
+
+8. **Hardcoded Paths**: When writing PowerShell logic, use `$PSScriptRoot` and script variables instead of hardcoded paths. This ensures the script works regardless of where it's installed.

+### Adding a Feature to the Default Preset
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> The default preset is intentionally conservative. Features added to it should be thoroughly tested and widely beneficial. When in doubt, leave the feature out of the default preset.
+
+The default preset (`Config/DefaultSettings.json`) defines which features are automatically applied when users run Win11Debloat in "Default Mode" or with the `-RunDefaults` parameter. This preset should include features that are widely considered to improve the Windows experience without breaking functionality.
+
+**When to add a feature to the default preset:**
+- The feature removes obvious bloatware or distractions
+- The feature enhances privacy without breaking core functionality
+- The feature is generally non-controversial and beneficial to most users
+- The change can be easily reverted if needed
+
+**When NOT to add a feature to the default preset:**
+- The feature significantly changes core Windows behavior
+- The feature might break applications or workflows for some users
+- The feature is highly opinionated or preference-based
+- The feature is experimental or not thoroughly tested
+
+To add your feature to the default preset, edit `Config/DefaultSettings.json` and add a new entry to the `"Settings"` array:
+
+```json
+{
+  "Name": "YourFeatureId",
+  "Value": true
+}
+```
+
+**Field Descriptions**:
+- `Name`: Must exactly match the `FeatureId` from Features.json
+- `Value`: Set to `true` to enable the feature in default mode
+
+**Example:**
+```json
+{
+  "Version": "1.0",
+  "Settings": [
+    {
+      "Name": "CreateRestorePoint",
+      "Value": true
+    },
+    {
+      "Name": "DisableTelemetry",
