 ## Properties
 
+### `key`
+`String`
+
+A short-lived, unique identifier for the node.
+
+By default, keys are not meant to be long-lived unique identifiers for nodes that you might store in a database, or elsewhere. They are meant purely to identify a node inside of a single Slate instance. For that reason, they are simply auto-incrementing strings. (eg. `'0'`, `'1'`, `'2'`, ...) 
+
+If you want to make your keys uniqueness long-lived, you'll need to supply your own key generating function via the [`setKeyGenerator`](../utils/utils.md#setkeygenerator) util.
+
 ### `nodes`
 `Immutable.List`

+# Utils
+
+These are extra utility functions that ship with Slate that may be useful for certain use cases.
+
+
+## `setKeyGenerator`
+`setKeyGenerator(generator: Function) => Void`
+
+Allows you to specify your own key generating function, instead of using Slate's built-in default generator which simply uses auto-incrementing number strings. (eg. `'0'`, `'1'`, `'2'`, ...)
+
+This will act globally on all uses of the Slate dependency.
