 ### Build
 
+If this is your **first** time building this package, you must first build **all** packages within the monorepo. This is because packages that depend on other packages located inside this monorepo are symlinked when run from **within** the monorepo. This allows you to make changes across multiple packages without first publishing dependent packages to NPM. To build all packages, run the following from the monorepo root directory:
+
+```bash
+yarn lerna:rebuild
+```
+
+Or continuously rebuild on change:
+
+```bash
+yarn dev
+```
+
+You can also build this specific package by running the following from within its directory:
+
 ```bash
 yarn build
 ```
 
+or continuously rebuild on change:
+
+```bash
+yarn build:watch
+```
+
+### Clean
+
+```bash
+yarn clean
+```

 ### Lint
