+### Swagger OpenAPI interactive UI
+
+To access the swagger openapi interactive interface you will have to change the parameters
+found in the [docker-compose](https://github.com/ec-jrc/re3gistry/blob/develop/sources/Re3gistry2-build-helper/docker-compose.yml) file. The default value and ports for the UI are
+localhost:8082.
+
+The frontend and backend interfaces both have a "Access API" hyperlink on the footer element. These links point to the default swagger URL, you might have to change it afterwards.
+
+You can manually add, edit and remove some of the options of the openapi interface by editing
+the existing [openapi.json](https://github.com/ec-jrc/re3gistry/blob/develop/sources/Re3gistry2-build-helper/swagger/openapi.json) file.
+
 ### Changing error messages
 
 You can change how the error messages are shown in your Re3gistry local instance.
