 Additionally, Solver related settings parameters are specified in the appropriate .yml file (e.g. `gurobi_settings.yml` or `cplex_settings.yml`),
 which should be located in the current working directory.
 Note that GenX supplies default settings for most solver settings in the various solver-specific functions found in the `src/configure_solver/` directory.
 To overwrite default settings, you can specify the below Solver specific settings.
 Settings are specific to each solver.
 
+(Optional) The user can also select the output files that they want to export using the `output_settings.yml` file. This file containes a list of `yes/no` options for each output file, and should be located in the `Settings` folder. By default, if `output_settings.yml` is not included, GenX will export all output files.
