 The Creative Commons License Chooser is meant to help people learn about CC licenses, and select the license that best fits their needs. The new version in this repo places greater importance on usability, and an educational experience of the six CC licenses.

 ## Running Tests
+
 You can run tests by executing:
 
 ```bash
 $ npm run test
 ```
 
 ## CSS Build
+
 The Chooser uses PostCSS plugin for PurgeCSS to make CSS bundle size smaller. It automatically removes unused CSS based on the classes found in the final built bundle. Some styles for dynamic components or dynamically-imported files can also be removed. If you find that the built site misses some styles, you can manually add the necessary classes or Regex expressions to the `safelist` array in the `postcss.config.js` file.
 
 ## Deployment
+
 The chooser is deployed to GitHub Pages. The source files for the beta deployment are contained in the `./docs/` dir, and are live. Any changes to this directory's contents will be automatically deployed, so please take care when making modifications to this location.
 
 To update the dist bundle, run ```$ npm run build```. This will also automatically copy the generated files from `./dist/` to `./docs/`.
+
+## Output Modes
+
+The site can be built in two different modes: `embedded` and `standalone`. `Embedded` mode removes the header and foter from the application, resulting in the following appearance:
+
+<img src="static/embedded-screenshot.png" alt="Application built in embedded mode">
+
+To build into embedded mode, set the environment variable `VUE_APP_CC_OUTPUT=embedded` on your server before building. If `VUE_APP_CC_OUTPUT` is unset or set to a different value, the app will build in the default `standalone` mode, with its own header and footer.
