 File centralization
 -------------------
 
-Enabling file centralization for a specific app automatically organizes all associated files into
-dedicated folders. To do so, go to :menuselection:`Documents --> Configuration --> Settings`. For
-example, enabling :guilabel:`Human Resources` makes HR documents automatically available in the
-:guilabel:`HR` folder, while documents related to Payroll are automatically available in the
-:guilabel:`Payroll` sub-folder. Select the desired folder from the dropdown list and select the
-:ref:`Tags <documents/tags>` to be added to the relevant files.
+File centralization allows for automatically organizing all files associated with a specific app
+into dedicated folders. It is enabled by default for each app upon installation. To disable file
+centralization, modify the default folder, or configure the tags to be added to the app-specific
+files, go to :menuselection:`Documents --> Configuration --> Settings`, and edit the relevant
+setting under the :guilabel:`File Centralization` section.
 
 .. tip::
-   When centralizing accounting files, click :guilabel:`Journals` to configure specific
-   sub-folders for individual journals.
+   - File centralization cannot be disabled for :guilabel:`Accounting` documents. A sub-folder is
+     automatically created for each journal type (e.g., Sales, Purchase, Bank, etc.), and the
+     journal name is added as a tag on each document. Click :guilabel:`Journals` to edit the list of
+     journals to synchronize and define their corresponding folders and tags.
+   - For :guilabel:`Human Resources` files, a sub-folder is automatically created for each employee,
+     and specific tags are added to the files based on the document type (e.g.,
+     :guilabel:`Contracts`, :guilabel:`Payslips`, etc.). You can also create additional
+     :guilabel:`Employee Subfolders` automatically by entering the desired folder names, separated
+     by commas.
