 ## Configuration
 
-Ensure your denote directory is indexed by Baloo:
+If Baloo already indexes your home directory (the default), no configuration is needed — the extractor plugin activates automatically on the next index pass.
+
+To immediately reindex existing notes after install:
 
 ```sh
-balooctl config add includeFolders /path/to/your/notes
-```
-
-After installing the extractor plugin, trigger a reindex:
-
-```sh
-balooctl check /path/to/your/notes
+balooctl index /path/to/your/notes
 ```
