+### Using the shadow DOM
+
+It is possible to attach a shadow root to the custom element to have your component rendered in a separate subtree.
+Customization of the shadow root `mode` is also possible on element basis.
+Read more about the shadow DOM on [MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/ShadowRoot).
+
+```tsx
+function WithShadow(props) {
+	return <span>Hello from shadow root!</span>;
+}
+
+// use shadow root in "open" mode
+register(FullName, 'full-name', [], {
+	shadow: true,
+});
+
+// use shadow root in "closed" mode
+register(FullName, 'full-name-encapsulated', [], {
+	shadow: true,
+	mode: 'closed',
+});
