 ## [Unreleased]
 ### Added
+- Wandb sweeps! Prepare your sweep with wandb, edprep your sweep file and go sweepin'!
 - Root parameter for image and numpy loader of the meta dataset. `root` is prepended to the given paths and thus allows for smaller label arrays
 - Category loader allows to convert a given label into a more expressive category, which is specifed in the dataset's `meta.yaml`
 - Debug options: `debug/disable_integrations=True`, `debug/max_examples=5 batches`.

+This script is meant to be used together with wandb's great sweep
+functionality. The workflow looks as follows:
+
+
+1. Create a sweep file from your wandb web client. You can put in anything
+    under ``Settings/Training Script`` or leave it as it is. This value will be
+    changed to match you local edflow later on. Choose all parameters you want
+    to sweep over and nothgin else. Don't worry about the dots in the preview,
+    these will be fixed automatically later on.
+
+2. Download the sweep file to your prefered location.
+
+3. Navigate to the script location and run ``edprep <sweep_file.yaml> [all
+    additional parameters]. Add all additional parameters as you would when
+    running ``edflow``. Usually those include ``-t -b
+    <path/to/some/config.yaml> -n <sweep name>``. You can also add any other
+    parameter as if working with edflow. All parameters are added to the sweep
+    as constants, which are not varied.
+
+4. Now follow the wandb manual: run ``wandb sweep <sweep_file.yaml>``
+
+5. copy the command from the output of step 4 and run it. It should look
+    something like this: ``wandb agent <sweep_id>``.
