+### rollback
+
+confy automatically saves a compressed backup of any file to `/tmp/<filename>.confbak` before you open it for editing. if you make a mess of your config, select the file and run `:rb` to restore it.
+
+rollback can be disabled in config.json:
+```json
+"settings": {
+  "rollback": false
+}
+```
+
+### colors
+
+customize colors in `~/.config/confy/config.json` under `settings.colors`. values can be named colors or hex codes:
+
+```json
+"settings": {
+  "colors": {
+    "bg":        "default",
+    "fg":        "default",
+    "highlight": "#cba6f7",
+    "group":     "#89b4fa"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+named colors: `black`, `red`, `green`, `yellow`, `blue`, `magenta`, `cyan`, `white`, `default`, `lavender`, `pink`, `purple`, `orange`
+
+hex colors require a terminal that supports 256 colors (most do).

 ### search mode
 
 press `/` to enter search mode, then start typing:
 - filters both files and groups in real-time
-- case-insensitive fuzzy matching
+- case-insensitive matching
 - `enter` to accept and keep filtering
 - `esc` to clear search and show all files
 
 ### groups
 
-groups are purely organizational - your actual config files stay in their original locations. groups help you organize your list of tracked configs into logical categories like "hyprland", "nvim", "shell", etc.

 groups are collapsible - press `space` or `enter` on a group header to toggle.
 
+## configuration file
+
+confy stores everything in `~/.config/confy/config.json`. if you're upgrading from an older version with `tracked.json`, confy will automatically migrate it on first run.
+
+full example config.json:
+```json
+{
+  "groups": {
+    "ungrouped": [],
+    "hyprland": ["/home/user/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf"],
+    "nvim": ["/home/user/.config/nvim/init.lua"]
