+## Toolchain Management
+
+The Swift extension automatically detects installations of the Swift toolchain in your environment. It looks for a `swift` binary available in `PATH` and, if one cannot be found, prompts you to [install a toolchain from Swift.org](https://www.swift.org/install).
+
+If you have multiple Swift toolchains installed on your system, use the command `Swift: Select Toolchain...` to tell the extension which toolchain to use. The command shows you a list of all the toolchains that VS Code found on your system and lets you switch between them.

+### Installing Toolchains
+
+The Swift extension can use swiftly to install toolchains on your behalf. This allows you to discover, install, and configure Swift toolchains directly from the VS Code interface without needing to use the command line.
+
+Before using the toolchain installation feature, ensure you meet the following requirements:
+
+* **Swiftly 1.1.0 or newer** - The installation feature requires swiftly version 1.1.0 or newer. Run **`swiftly self-update`** in your terminal to get the latest version of swiftly.
+* **Administrator Privileges** - On Linux systems, `sudo` may be required to install system dependencies for the toolchain after installation.
+
+You can access the installation commands via the `Swift: Select Toolchain...` command, or by running the following commands directly:
+- **`Swift: Install Swiftly Toolchain...`** - installs stable Swift toolchains via swiftly
+- **`Swift: Install Swiftly Snapshot Toolchain...`** - installs snapshot Swift toolchains via swiftly
+
 ### .swift-version Support
 
 Swiftly can use a special `.swift-version` file in the root of your package so that you can share your toolchain preference with the rest of your team. The VS Code Swift extension respects this file if it exists and will use the toolchain specified within it to build and test your package.
