-4. Create the artifact.zip file for the application
+4. Prepare static endpoints
+
+   The cellxgene server can server additional static webpages that may be associated with the deployment.
+   These include the about_legal_tos (terms of service), and bout_legal_privacy, for example.  
+   To use this feature, do the following:
+
+   * In this directory, create a sub directory called "static".  
+   * Copy the files you want to server into this directory
+   * modify your configuration file to set the location to these file:  /static/deploy/<filename>
+
+   Example:  you want to include an "about_legal_tos" and "about_legal_privacy" page to cellxgene.
+   Assume files called "tos.html" and "privacy.html" exist.
 
    ```
-   make build
+   $ mkdir static
+   $ cp <source_dir>/tos.html static/tos.html
+   $ cp <source_dir>/privacy.html static/privacy.html
+
+   # edit config.yaml
