 ### Solving user-provided instances
 
-The first step to use UC.jl is to construct a JSON file describing your unit commitment instance. See the [data format page]() for a complete description of the data format UC.jl expects. The next steps, as shown below, are to read the instance from file, construct the optimization model, run the optimization and extract the optimal solution.

 ### Solving benchmark instances
 
-As described in the [Instances page](instances.md), UnitCommitment.jl contains a number of benchmark instances collected from the literature. To solve one of these instances individually, instead of constructing your own, the function `read_benchmark` can be used:

+### Customizing the formulation
+
+By default, `build_model` uses a formulation that combines modeling components from different publications, and that has been carefully tested, using our own benchmark scripts, to provide good performance across a wide variety of instances. This default formulation is expected to change over time, as new methods are proposed in the literature. You can, however, construct your own formulation, based the modeling components that you choose, as shown in the next example.
+
+```julia
+using Cbc
+using UnitCommitment
+
+import UnitCommitment:
+    Formulation,
+    KnuOstWat2018,
+    MorLatRam2013,
+    ShiftFactorsFormulation
 
-### Modifying the formulation
+instance = UnitCommitment.read_benchmark(
+    "matpower/case118/2017-02-01",
+)
 
-For the time being, the recommended way of modifying the MILP formulation used by UC.jl is to create a local copy of our git repository and directly modify the source code of the package. In a future version, it will be possible to switch between multiple formulations, or to simply add/remove constraints after the model has been generated.
+model = UnitCommitment.build_model(
+    instance = instance,
+    optimizer = Cbc.Optimizer,
+    formulation = Formulation(
+        pwl_costs = KnuOstWat2018.PwlCosts(),
+        ramping = MorLatRam2013.Ramping(),
+        startup_costs = MorLatRam2013.StartupCosts(),
+        transmission = ShiftFactorsFormulation(
+            isf_cutoff = 0.005,
+            lodf_cutoff = 0.001,
+        ),
