+Example: `22.14.13`
 
 The version of app-builder-lib that ToDesktop should use for building your app. This can be useful if you need to use a specific version that includes certain features or fixes.
 
+### `platformOverrides` - (optional) object
+
+Default: `{}`
+
+This option allows you to specify platform-specific configurations for Windows, macOS, and Linux builds. Most top-level configuration fields available in `todesktop.json` can be overridden within the `windows`, `mac`, or `linux` objects under `platformOverrides`.
+
+Example:
+
+```json
+{
+  "appId": "myapp.global.id",
+  "platformOverrides": {
+    "windows": {
+      "appId": "myapp.windows.id",
+      "copyright": "Copyright © My Company (Windows)"
+    },
+    "mac": {
+      "appId": "myapp.mac.id",
+      "mac": {
+        "category": "public.app-category.developer-tools"
+      }
+    },
+    "linux": {
+      "copyright": "Copyright © My Company (Linux)"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+When a build is performed for a specific platform (e.g., Windows), the ToDesktop CLI will first take the global configuration value for a field. If that same field is defined within `platformOverrides.windows`, the platform-specific value will be used instead.
+
+In the example above:
+
+- For Windows builds:
+  - `appId` will be `myapp.windows.id`.
+  - `copyright` will be `Copyright © My Company (Windows)`.
+- For macOS builds:
+  - `appId` will be `myapp.mac.id`.
+  - The `mac.category` will be `public.app-category.developer-tools`.
+- For Linux builds:
+  - `appId` will remain `myapp.global.id` (as it's not overridden for Linux).
+  - `copyright` will be `Copyright © My Company (Linux)`.
+- For any other properties not specified in the platform override, the global value will be used.
+
+This is particularly useful for settings like `appId`, `copyright`, or platform-specific configurations within the `windows`, `mac`, or `linux` blocks (e.g., `mac.category`, `windows.icon`).
+
+The fields that **cannot** be overridden using `platformOverrides` are:
+
+- `id` (the ToDesktop application ID)
+- `icon` (the main application icon, though platform-specific icons like `windows.icon` or `mac.icon` _can_ be overridden)
+- `schemaVersion`
+- `extends`
+- `platformOverrides` itself
+
 ## Build lifecycle hooks (package.json scripts)
 
 Sometimes you want to do something before or during the build process. For example, you might want to run a script before the build starts, or you might want to run a script after the files have been packaged. Our lifecycle hooks provide a way to do this.
