 ## Usage
 
-Using icons within your project. You need to:
+### Settng up with Siemens Industrial Experience design system
 
-- Install `@siemens/ix-icons` e.g. `npm install --save @siemens/ix-icons`
+If you are also using the library [Siemens Industrial Experience](https://github.com/siemens/ix/), no additional  project setup will be necessary. The packages `@siemens/ix-angular`, `@siemens/ix-react` or `@siemens/ix-vue` will take care of setting up the icon library for you.
 
-```javascript
-import { defineCustomElements } from '@siemens/ix-icons/loader';
+### Setting up without Siemens Industrial Experience design system
+
+If you want to use `@siemens/ix-icons` without `@siemens/ix` you need to follow these steps:
+
+#### Using CDN
+
+Place the following `<script>` near the end of your page, right before the closing </body> tag.
 
-(async () => {
-  await defineCustomElements();
-})();
+```html
+<script type="module" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@siemens/ix-icons@%5E3.0.0/dist/ix-icons/ix-icons.esm.js"></script>
+<script nomodule src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@siemens/ix-icons@%5E3.0.0/dist/ix-icons/ix-icons.js"></script>
 ```
 
-### Angular / Web Components
+Now you can render icons in your applicaton:
 
 ```html
-<ix-icon name="rocket"></ix-icon>
+<ix-icon name="star"></ix-icon>
 ```
 
-### React and Vue
+### Using a package manager like `npm`/`pnpm`/`yarn`
 
-```tsx
-import { rocket } from '@siemens/ix-icons/icons';
+First install the package `@siemens/ix-icons@latest` in your project (e.g. `npm install --save @siemens/ix-icons`).
+
+Then load the icon component:
+
+```javascript
+import { defineCustomElements } from '@siemens/ix-icons/loader';
 
-<ix-icon name={rocket}></ix-icon>;
+// Register Web Component <ix-icon></ix-icon>
+defineCustomElements();
 ```
 
-### Use `ix-icon` component with custom svg's
+### Prepare your project
+
+1. **Copy SVG Files:**
+   Copy all SVG files located under `node_modules/@siemens/ix-icons/svg` to an asset folder in your project. This allows the `ix-icon` component to fetch the images.
+
+2. **Alternative Method:**
+   Alternatively, you can use the `addIcons` function to load specific icons directly in your code. For example:
+
+   ```javascript
+   import { addIcons } from '@siemens/ix-icons';
+   import { iconStar } from '@siemens/ix-icons/icons';
+
+   addIcons({ iconStar });
+   ```
+
+   ```html
+   <ix-icon name="star"></ix-icon>
+   ```
+
+   You only need to add the same icon once. Additional calls to `addIcons` will not add redundant copies of the same icons to the collection.
+
+### Use the `ix-icon` component with custom SVG's
 
 ```tsx
-<ix-icon name="/your/asset/path/my-icon.svg"></ix-icon>;
+<ix-icon name="/your/asset/path/my-icon.svg"></ix-icon>
 ```
