-## Usage
 !!! warning
-
     A commercial API key is required to run calculations with SolarFarmer's cloud energy yield engine.
 
     Start by [acquiring your SolarFarmer web API token](https://mysoftware.dnv.com/download/public/renewables/solarfarmer/manuals/latest/WebApi/Introduction/ApiKey.html){ target="_blank" .external }. For more details, see the [SolarFarmer web API introduction page](https://mysoftware.dnv.com/download/public/renewables/solarfarmer/manuals/latest/WebApi/Introduction/introduction.html){ target="_blank" .external }.
 
     Once you have your API key, provide it to the SDK using either the **SF_API_KEY** environment variable or pass it directly as the `api_key` argument when calling the energy calculation function or other endpoints.
 
+Choose your workflow: load existing API files, build plant configurations from scratch, or integrate custom data models to run the SolarFarmer energy calculation in the cloud. For example,
 
 Calling the energy calculation model with all the API inputs in a folder:
 
 ```py
 import solarfarmer as sf
 
-# A project id (optional)
-project_id="calculation example"
-
 # API key (optional, it could be an environment variable 'SF_API_KEY')
 api_key = "Your SolarFarmer API key here"

     The package comes with sample files for both the 2D and 3D energy calculations, which are used in the tutorials.
 
     Alternatively, you can get additional sample files from the [API step-by-step tutorials](https://mysoftware.dnv.com/download/public/renewables/solarfarmer/manuals/latest/UserGuide/Tutorials/Tutorials.html) or export your own from [SolarFarmer's desktop application](https://mysoftware.dnv.com/download/public/renewables/solarfarmer/manuals/latest/UserGuide/HintsAndTips/APIJSON/ImportFromAPIJSON.html).
