 You can register Handlebars helpers in the `ScaffoldingDesignTimeServices` where setup takes place.
 - Create a named tuple as shown with `myHelper` below.
+- The `context` parameter of the helper method provides model data injected by the Handlebars scaffolding extension.
 - Pass the tuple to the `AddHandlebarsHelpers` extension method.
+- To use Handlebars helper defined above, add the following to any of the .hbs files within the CodeTemplates folder: `{{my-helper}}`
 - You may register as many helpers as you wish.
 
 You can pass transform functions to `AddHandlebarsTransformers` in order to customize generation of entity type definitions, including class names, constructors and properties.
