+Edit the setting for "New Query Template" by creating a new query template in the editor and running the command "QE Boost: Set New Query Template".  This setting can also be updated directly in the Azure Data Studio settings.
 
 
 ### Uninstalling?
 I'm sad to see you go, but before you uninstall I recommended running the command "QE Boost: Reset Dashboard Shortcuts".  This will re-add the original *New Query* button to the server and database dashboards.

-### Use Database
+## Use Database
 Change the connected database in a query editor with the "QE Boost: Use Database" command (`ctrl+u`), which opens a searchable picklist. Return to the query editor by hitting `Enter` and your hands never leave the keyboard.

+## Create New Snippets
 
 When creating new snippets, move quickly through the syntax and manual JSON editing with friendly snippet creation.
 
 Makes writing new snippet queries easier by placing placeholders (tab stops) and supported variables in the editor window.
 
-#### Insert Placeholders
+### Insert Placeholders
+
+Use the command "QE Boost: Add Snippet Placeholder" to add placeholders to your query text.  Query Editor Boost will parse repetive use of a placeholder through 99 distinct placeholders.
