+## Utility helpers
+
+The package also exposes small internal utilities from `storybook-addon-playwright/utils`. One of them is `BrowserManager`, which helps you create and reuse Playwright browser instances by browser type and index.
+
+```ts
+import { BrowserManager } from 'storybook-addon-playwright/utils';
+import { chromium, firefox, webkit } from 'playwright';
+
+const manager = new BrowserManager({
+  browserCount: {
+    chromium: 1,
+    firefox: 1,
+    webkit: 1,
+  },
+  createBrowser: async (browserType) => {
+    const browserTypeMap = {
+      chromium,
+      firefox,
+      webkit,
+    };
+
+    return await browserTypeMap[browserType].launch();
+  },
+  isBrowserConnected: (browser) => browser.isConnected(),
+});
+
+await manager.loadBrowsers();
+
+const { browser, index } = await manager.getBrowser('chromium');
+const page = await browser.newPage();
+
+// Reset every cached browser before the next run if needed.
+await manager.resetBrowsers();
+```
