-To get TypeScript working with the global APIs, add `vitest/globals` to the `types` field in your `tsconfig.json`

-}

+To register global API types, follow one of the following methods:
+
+1. Use a `@types/vitest.d.ts` file
+
+    Create a `@types/vitest.d.ts` file in your project root that imports `vitest/globals`:
+
+    ```ts
+    import 'vitest/globals'
+    ```
+
+2. Type-import the global types from a source file
+
+    Add a type-import from `vitest/globals` in any `.ts` file (e.g., your [setup file](#setupfiles)). This registers the global APIs types automatically. Ensure the file is included in your `tsconfig.json` so TypeScript knows it's apart of the same project.
+
+    ```ts
+    // test-setup.ts
+    import type {} from 'vitest/globals'
+    ```
+
+3. Configure it in [`tsconfig.json#compilerOptions.types`](https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig/#types)
+
+    Alternatively, add `vitest/globals` to the `types` field in `tsconfig.json`.
+
+    Warning: This disables TypeScript's automatic type detection, which could break your setup if your project relies on it. If you encounter types missing from other packages, you'll now need to manually register them here as well.
+
+    ```json5
+    // tsconfig.json
+    {
+      "compilerOptions": {
+        "types": ["vitest/globals"]
+      }
+    }
+    ```
+
+#### Auto-import
 
-If you are already using [`unplugin-auto-import`](https://github.com/antfu/unplugin-auto-import) in your project, you can also use it directly for auto importing those APIs.
+If you are already using [`unplugin-auto-import`](https://github.com/antfu/unplugin-auto-import) in your project, you can simplify this process by automatically importing the Vitest APIs without having to manually manage global type imports. This also generates TypeScript declarations for you.
