+## Features
+
+### Start in VS Code or Positron and end with content on Posit Connect
+
+Posit Publisher extends VS Code and Positron so you can stay in your development
+environment to configure and deploy your content. Select the file you want
+to deploy, and Posit Publisher will get you started with a configuration.
+
+Once you are ready, deploy your content to Posit Connect.

+
+### Code-first deployment
+
+Configure your content with ease.
+
+[Configuration files](https://github.com/posit-dev/publisher/blob/main/docs/configuration.md)
+allow setting up how you want your content to look and run on Connect — from
+choosing a title and description to
+[Runtime process settings](https://docs.posit.co/connect/user/content-settings/#content-runtime).
+
+Keep your content stable with language and tool versions set in your
+configurations — all automatically detected based on your local environment.
+
+Keep your content stable with language and tool versions set in your
+configurations — all automatically detected based on your local environment.
+And you also have the control to pin them to the exact version that works for
+you.
+
+Everything is saved in the `.posit/` directory for easy reproducibility and
+collaboration.
+
+### Track all content for a project
+
+If your project requires multiple pieces of content, Posit Publisher can manage
+them all inside VS Code or Positron. For example, deploy an API and an
+application that utilizes it.
+
+### Associate already deployed content
+
+Posit Publisher isn't only for deploying something new. To start managing your
+previously-deployed content in VS Code or Positron, associate your deployment
+using just the content's URL.
+
+See the
+[Updating Previously Deployed Content](https://github.com/posit-dev/publisher/blob/main/docs/vscode.md#updating-previously-deployed-content)
+documentation for more information.
+
+### Multiple deployments and configurations
+
+Does your content need to be deployed to multiple destinations with different
+settings? For example, to a staging environment and production.
+
+Posit Publisher supports managing multiple deployments and configurations,
+simplifying the process of deploying to different environments.
+
+### Deployment logs
+
+Logs are organized to easily identify what went wrong.
